RATNAPYR
Imazethapyr 10% SL
RATNAPYR (Imazethapyr 10% SL) is a selective systemic herbicide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's trusted agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Imazethapyr inhibits acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS/ALS) enzyme, disrupting branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis in susceptible weeds. RATNAPYR controls annual grasses, selective broad-leaf weeds, and sedges in soybean and groundnut as a foliar post-emergence application. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, RATNAPYR is a reliable selective post-emergence herbicide for soybean and groundnut farmers seeking broad-spectrum control of diverse annual grass, broad-leaf, and sedge weed species at 400 ml per acre.

FAQ for RATNAPYR
How does Imazethapyr in RATNAPYR work?
Imazethapyr inhibits acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS/ALS) enzyme essential for branched-chain amino acid (valine, leucine, isoleucine) biosynthesis, causing slow death of susceptible weed species.
Which weeds does RATNAPYR control?
RATNAPYR controls annual grasses, selective broad-leaf weeds, and sedges in soybean and groundnut through its selective ALS enzyme inhibitor post-emergence herbicidal activity.
Is RATNAPYR safe for soybean and groundnut crops?
Yes, RATNAPYR is selective for both soybean and groundnut (legume crops) which can metabolise Imazethapyr rapidly through hydroxylation and conjugation, making them tolerant to recommended application rates.
When should RATNAPYR be applied?
Apply RATNAPYR post-emergence at 400ml per acre using foliar application when weeds are small and actively growing. Do not mix with other chemicals except sticking agents for best results.
What precautions are needed after RATNAPYR application?
Do not apply other herbicides for 4 weeks before or after RATNAPYR. Avoid application during crop stress. Some crops following soybean may be sensitive — observe cropping sequence rotation guidelines.
