Product Description
About Product
Agil by ADAMA is a selective post-emergence herbicide containing Propaquizafop 10% EC, specifically developed to control annual and perennial grassy weeds in a wide range of broadleaf crops including soybean, cotton, groundnut, pulses, vegetables, and more.
It is quickly absorbed by weed foliage and translocated to the roots, providing complete weed kill with no regrowth.
Agil Technical Details
-
Technical Content: Propaquizafop 10% EC
-
Formulation: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
-
Mode of Action: Inhibits ACCase (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase) enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis, which leads to cell membrane disruption and death of grassy weeds.

Entry: Systemic – absorbed through leaves and translocated to roots and growing points.
Key Features and Benefits

Rapid absorption and no regrowth of treated weeds.
-
Compatible with many broadleaf herbicides (tank mix test recommended).
-
Rainfast within 1 hour of application.
