Adama Agil
Agil Herbicide belongs to the aryloxyphenoxy propionates family and is designed for post-emergence weed control. It effectively manages a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses. Agil is versatile, making it suitable for selective weed control across various crops including sugarbeet, oilseed rape, soybeans, sunflower, field crops, vegetables, fruit trees, vineyards, and forestry. The best results are typically achieved when applied during the 2-4 leaf stage of weeds.
Adama Agil – Advanced Selective Herbicide for Grass Weed Control
Adama Agil is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide containing Propaquizafop 10% EC, specially formulated for controlling narrow-leaved grassy weeds in broadleaf crops. It effectively eliminates annual and perennial grasses without affecting the main crop, ensuring higher yields and better crop health.
This selective herbicide is rapidly absorbed and translocated to the growing points of weeds, leading to their complete control within 1 to 3 weeks of application.
Mode of Action – How Does Adama Agil Work?
Propaquizafop 10% EC – Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) Inhibitor
Inhibits fatty acid synthesis, preventing cell division in grassy weeds.
Absorbed through leaves & translocated to roots, ensuring complete weed eradication.
Selective action – does not harm broadleaf crops when applied correctly.
Adama Agil works effectively against tough grassy weeds while allowing crops to grow without competition.
