Aqila (Anu Products Limited) (Bispyribac Sodium 10% SC) is a broad-spectrum, selective post-emergence herbicide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing 10% bispyribac sodium, a potent and selective herbicide with rapid contact and residual activity.

Mode of Action:

Bispyribac sodium inhibits the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) in susceptible plants, which is essential for fatty acid synthesis. This disruption of fatty acid synthesis leads to the accumulation of toxic compounds and ultimately cell death.

Dosage and Application:

The recommended dosage of Aqila varies depending on the crop, target weeds, and application method. For paddy, the recommended dosage is 100-120 ml per hectare. Aqila should be applied as a broadcast application to the soil surface or as a directed spray to the base of weeds. It is best to apply Aqila 1-2 days after transplanting or 1-2 days before the first irrigation.

Benefits of Using Aqila:

• Broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of grasses and sedges
• Selective activity, which means it is safe for use on a variety of crops
• Rapid contact and residual activity for effective control
• Low use rates
• Short residual activity

Safety and Precautions:

• Aqila is a moderately toxic herbicide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling Aqila.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Do not apply Aqila to crops that are stressed or damaged.
• Do not graze animals on treated areas until the herbicide has completely degraded.
• Dispose of empty Aqila containers safely.

Conclusion:

Aqila is a versatile and effective herbicide that can be used to control a wide range of grasses and sedges in paddy. It is a good choice for farmers who are looking for a selective herbicide with rapid contact and residual activity, low use rates, and short residual activity.

Additional Information:

• Bispyribac sodium is a moderately persistent herbicide, so it is important to follow label instructions carefully to avoid environmental contamination.
• Aqila is not highly toxic to bees, so it can be applied to flowering paddy with caution.
