FAQ for SHERSHAH
What grassy weeds does SHERSHAH control?
SHERSHAH controls Love Grass (Eragrostis sp.), Crab Grass, Wild Finger Grass, Viper Grass, Barnyard Grass (Echinochloa colonum), Sanwa/Sarnel, and Crow Foot Grass in broad-leaf crops.
How does Quizalofop-Ethyl work in SHERSHAH?
Quizalofop-Ethyl inhibits ACCase (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) enzyme in grassy weed species, blocking fatty acid synthesis essential for grass weed membrane integrity, causing selective grass weed death.
Which crops is SHERSHAH recommended for?
SHERSHAH is recommended for soybean, cotton, groundnut, black gram, and onion — broad-leaf crops where grassy weed control is needed without harming the crop.
When should SHERSHAH be applied?
Apply SHERSHAH post-emergence when grassy weeds have 2–5 leaves and are actively growing. Adding an approved surfactant/adjuvant significantly improves grass weed coverage and absorption.
Is SHERSHAH safe for soybean and groundnut?
Yes, SHERSHAH is highly selective for soybean and groundnut. ACCase enzyme in broad-leaf crops is structurally different from grass ACCase and is not significantly inhibited at recommended application rates.
