Frequently Asked Questions
Oxykill is a selective, contact action herbicide used to control weeds both pre and post emergence. It effectively controls deeply rooted annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
Oxykill herbicide contains Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC that acts through contact action within a short time. Because of its quick action, it is an effective solution for rapid growing weeds.
Oxykill herbicide can be used for Onion, tea, potato, groundnut, direct seeded rice, and mint for controlling stubborn weeds.
Oxykill works only in the presence of light. The active ingredient of Oxykill herbicide, when comes in contact with the weeds, inhibits an enzyme resulting in accumulation of toxic compounds. Buildup of these toxic compounds disrupts cell membranes of weed cells. This leads to death of the grasses and other weeds.
Oxykill herbicide can be used at a dosage range of:
• 0.9-1.7 ml/litre
• 450-850 ml in 500 litres of water per acre
• 13.5-25.5 ml/15 litre pump
Refer to the label instructions for crop specific dosages
Yes, Oxykill herbicide can be harmful to beneficial insects if applied incorrectly. Since it is broad-spectrum herbicide, it will affect pollinators, predators, and other aquatic organisms as well. To reduce the risk of harming beneficial insects, it is advisable to spray during early morning or late afternoon.
Choose a non-windy or no-rain day to apply Oxykill herbicide to avoid drifting and washing away. Cooler hours of the day, like early morning or late afternoon, are ideal for spraying. It is advised to spray Oxykill on emerging and actively growing weeds.
