FAQs for Shriram Iso‑75 (Isoproturon 75% WP) Herbicide
1. What kind of herbicide is Iso‑75 and how does it work?
Ans. Iso‑75 contains Isoproturon, a phenylurea selective herbicide that targets primarily annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds. It is absorbed through roots and shoots, then translocates within the plant to inhibit photosynthesis (Photosystem II), causing weed death. 
2. Which crops and weeds does it control?
Ans. Iso‑75 is widely used in wheat, barley, rye, triticale, and rice-wheat systems to control weeds like Phalaris minor, Avena fatua, and Poa annua. It also helps manage other annual grasses and several broadleaf weeds. 
3. What is the recommended dosage and application method?
Ans. Usually applied at 500 g per acre in 200–300 L water. For a 15 L knapsack, mix approximately 50 g (≈3.3 g/L). Use a uniform spray to ensure soil contact for optimum absorption. 
4. When should farmers apply Iso‑75 for best results?
Ans. Apply as a post‑emergence spray when weeds are at early growth stage—typically the 2–4 leaf stage—for maximum efficacy. It can also work as early post-emergence treatment. 
5. How quickly will weeds be controlled after application?
Ans. Weeds typically show signs of suppression within 3–7 days, followed by yellowing and death over the next week, depending on environmental conditions.
6. How persistent is Iso‑75 in the environment?
Ans. It degrades in soil within 6–28 days, depending on microbial activity and temperature. In water, its half-life (DT₅₀) can extend to ~40 days, with up to 149 days in sediments. 
7. What are the environmental and toxicity concerns?
Ans. Isoproturon poses notable risks to aquatic life—even at low concentrations—and can affect algae and fish populations. Some studies raise concerns about liver toxicity, endocrine disruption, and possible carcinogenic effects in mammals. It has been banned in several countries under environmental safety regulations.
