FAQ for RATNA-GLUFO
How does Glufosinate Ammonium in RATNA-GLUFO work?
Glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthetase enzyme, causing toxic ammonia accumulation that disrupts photosynthesis and protein synthesis in treated plants, leading to rapid cell damage and weed death.
Which weeds does RATNA-GLUFO control?
RATNA-GLUFO controls Echinochloa sp., Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus, Digitaria marginata, Dactyloctenium, Imperata cylindrica, Panicum repens, and Commelina benghalensis effectively.
Is RATNA-GLUFO selective or non-selective?
RATNA-GLUFO is a broad-spectrum non-selective herbicide. Use directed spray in cotton and tea to avoid crop contact. It controls all contacted green vegetation without soil residual activity.
What is the advantage of Glufosinate over Glyphosate?
Glufosinate is effective against some Glyphosate-resistant weed populations, provides faster visible activity (2–5 days vs 7–14 days for Glyphosate), and has no significant soil residual concerns.
What precautions are needed when applying RATNA-GLUFO?
Apply RATNA-GLUFO with directed or shielded nozzles in crops to avoid crop contact. Do not apply during wind conditions that could cause drift. Wear appropriate PPE during mixing and application.
