FERIO HERBICIDE

About Product

• Ferio Herbicide is a non-selective, post-emergent herbicide designed to manage perennial weeds in plantation crops.
• It works by direct contact with the weeds, leading to their effective elimination.
• Its efficiency in smaller application rates makes it a cost-effective choice for farmers, balancing effectiveness with economic considerations.

Ferio Herbicide Technical Details

• Technical Name: Glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL
• Mode of Entry: Contact
• Mode of Action: Ferio’s mode of action involves inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase. This enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of glutamine and for ammonia detoxification in plants. When Ferio is applied, it disrupts these processes, leading to an accumulation of ammonia within the plant cells, which ultimately causes the plant’s death

Key Features & Benefits

• Ferio is a broad-spectrum herbicide and effective against both broadleaf and grassy weeds.
• Inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase, leading to the accumulation of ammonia in plant cells, which causes weed death.
• Ferio Herbicide is suitable for crops like cotton and tea.
