DESCRIPTION
Chambal Uttam Fluzi (Fomesafen 11.1% + Fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% SL) Herbicides Details :
- Uttam Fluzi is a broad-spectrum, post-emergent herbicide from Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd., combining two powerful active ingredients: Fomesafen 11.1% and Fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1%. This synergistic combination ensures effective control over both broadleaf and grassy weeds in various crops, providing farmers with a reliable solution for clean and weed-free fields.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Dual Action: Combines contact herbicidal activity (Fomesafen) with systemic translocation (Fluazifop-p-butyl)
- Broad-Spectrum Control: Targets both narrow-leaved (grassy) and broad-leaved weeds effectively
- Selective Herbicide: Safe on recommended crops when used as per guidelines
- Quick Knockdown: Fast visible results on susceptible weeds
- Better Crop Establishment: Eliminates early weed competition and promotes better yield
Recommended Crops:
- Soybean, Groundnut, Pulses, and other legumes (confirm with agronomic guide)
- Target Weeds:
- Broadleaf weeds: Amaranthus spp., Digera arvensis, Parthenium spp.
- Grassy weeds: Echinochloa spp., Eleusine indica, Digitaria spp., Cynodon dactylon
Application Guidelines:
- Apply as a post-emergent spray when weeds are in early growth stages (2–4 leaf stage)
- Use 200–400 liters of water per hectare depending on weed density
- Use flat fan nozzles for uniform coverage
Precautions:
- Do not spray during strong winds or extreme sunlight
- Always wear protective clothing while spraying
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and children

FAQs for the product of Fluzi (Fomesafen 11.1% + Fluazifop‑P‑Butyl 11.1% SL) Herbicide :
1. What is Fluzi Herbicide used for?
Ans: Fluzi is a selective post‑emergence herbicide that effectively controls both broadleaf and grassy weeds, making it suitable for legume crops like soybean, groundnut, and beans. The dual actives offer broad-spectrum weed control.
2. How do the active ingredients work?
Ans:
- Fluazifop‑P‑Butyl targets grasses by inhibiting ACCase, preventing fatty acid synthesis and causing their death.
- Fomesafen disrupts photosynthesis in broadleaf weeds by blocking protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), leading to rapid cell leakage.
3. When should Fluzi be applied?
Ans: Best applied post-emergence, when target weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage, actively growing—this ensures strong uptake and maximum effectiveness.
4. What is the recommended dosage?
Ans: Use at 130 + 130 g/ha for fomesafen and fluazifop (total ~260 g/ha), for early post-emergence applications. This rate has delivered strong efficacy in soybean field trials.
5. How soon will weeds die after spraying?
Ans:
- Grassy weeds treated by fluazifop show symptoms gradually in 5–7 days.
- Broadleaf weeds affected by fomesafen bleach and die in 3–7 days.
- Full control typically occurs within 2 weeks.
6. Is there any residual soil activity?
Ans: While fomesafen provides some residual activity in the soil, fluazifop acts mainly through foliar absorption. Combined, they suppress both current and late-emerging weeds.
7. Can Fluzi be tank-mixed with other products?
Ans: Yes, it can be mixed with post-emergence herbicides or surfactants to broaden weed spectrum or boost uptake. However, always perform a jar test and follow label instructions before mixing.
