DESCRIPTION
Indofil Killog Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl 10% WP Herbicides Details :
- Killog by Indofil is a highly effective, low-dose selective pre-emergence herbicide formulated for the control of sedges, broadleaf weeds, and grasses in paddy cultivation. With systemic action, Killog is absorbed through the roots and leaves and translocated to the growing meristems of weeds, ensuring long-lasting and reliable weed suppression during the early growth phase of the crop.
- Mode of Action:- Killog works as a systemic pre-emergence herbicide. The active ingredient is absorbed through both roots and leaves of emerging weeds and is translocated to the meristematic regions. It disrupts weed growth before emergence, effectively preventing establishment of unwanted vegetation in rice fields.
Special Features :-
- Low-Dose Efficiency: Environmentally favorable with a minimal dose requirement
- Broad Spectrum Control: Excellent control of sedges and broadleaf weeds, and good control of grasses
- Multiple Application Segments: Suitable for Direct Sown Paddy (DSR), Nursery, and Transplanted Paddy
- Flexible Use: Can be applied via spraying or broadcasting methods
- Soil Friendly: No adverse effect on soil properties or microbial life

FAQs Indofil Killog Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl 10% WP Herbicides
1. How does Killog work, and why is it so effective in paddy fields?
Ans. Killog is a pre-emergence systemic herbicide absorbed by both roots and leaves, and moves to the weed's growing points. It provides excellent control of sedges and broadleaf weeds, with fair suppression of grasses
2. When should I apply Killog for the best results?
Ans. Spray within 0–3 days after sowing or transplanting, before weeds emerge. Application in this window creates a protective herbicide barrier in the soil
3. What is the recommended dosage and water volume?
Ans. Use 100–150 g per hectare dissolved in 500–600 L water per hectare (or approximately 0.5 g/L in 200–300 L/acre water) for effective coverage
4. Which weeds does Killog target best?
Ans. It controls major paddy weeds like Cyperus iria, C. difformis, Fimbristylis spp., Monochoria vaginalis, and Ludwigia parviflora. It also offers fair control of some grasses
5. Can Killog be used in nursery beds and vegetable crops?
Ans. Yes—it's suitable for direct-seeded paddy (DSR), nursery beds, and transplanted rice. Its broad-spectrum action makes it versatile across early crop zones
6. Is Killog safe for soil microbes and future crops?
Ans. Yes—it has no adverse effects on soil physicochemical properties or microbial activity, making it safe for many cropping systems
7. What protective measures should be taken when using Killog?
Ans. Wear gloves, mask, goggles, and full protective clothing during mixing and spraying. Avoid inhaling dust and prevent runoff—Killog is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects
