Chemley Ceasefone Pyroxasulfone 85% WG Herbicide for Wheat Weed Control

Chemley Ceasefone Pyroxasulfone 85% WG Herbicide

Chemley Ceasefone Pyroxasulfone 85% WG is a selective herbicide marketed by Chemley Agritech Pvt. Ltd. It contains Pyroxasulfone 85% in a water-dispersible granule formulation. This active ingredient is used for early control of susceptible annual grassy and certain broadleaf weeds, particularly before weed seedlings emerge.

Pyroxasulfone is used in registered weed-management programmes for crops including wheat, maize and soybean. It acts in the soil during weed germination, helping reduce early competition for moisture, nutrients and growing space. Chemley Ceasefone should be applied only according to its original registered crop-specific label instructions.

Product Details

Key Features and Benefits

• Early Weed Management: Controls susceptible weeds during germination and initial seedling development.
• Activity Against Grassy Weeds: Pyroxasulfone 85% WG has registered technical uses against Phalaris minor and other specified annual grasses.
• Selected Broadleaf Weed Control: Provides pre-emergence activity against certain susceptible broadleaf species.
• Residual Soil Activity: May suppress subsequent weed emergence when sufficient soil moisture activates the herbicide.
• Reduced Early Competition: Helps protect crop access to water, nutrients and space through timely weed management.
• WG Formulation: Water-dispersible granules are intended for dilution and spray application.

Recommended Crops and Target Weeds

The following are published Indian crop-weed references for Pyroxasulfone 85% WG. They are not independently verified as Chemley Ceasefone-specific registrations.

Check that the intended crop and weed appear on the current Ceasefone registered label before application.

How Does Chemley Ceasefone Work?

Pyroxasulfone belongs to the Group 15 herbicides. It inhibits the biosynthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids required for normal membrane formation and cell development in susceptible weeds.

When applied to the soil under suitable conditions, it affects emerging weed seedlings and interferes with shoot and root development. Susceptible weeds may fail to emerge or establish normally.

It is primarily a pre-emergence herbicide and does not reliably control large, already established weeds.

Dosage and Application

Published Technical Reference: Other Indian manufacturers of Pyroxasulfone 85% WG list a formulation dose of approximately 60 g per acre for specified crop-weed combinations.

Important: This is not a verified Chemley Ceasefone dose. Application rates must be confirmed from the original Ceasefone label, including crop, soil conditions, water volume and application timing.

General Application Method

1. Confirm that the intended crop and target weeds are approved on the Ceasefone label.
2. Prepare a fine, reasonably level seedbed with properly covered crop seeds.
3. Measure the product quantity specified on the original label.
4. Premix the granules in a small quantity of clean water.
5. Add the mixture to the sprayer and complete filling with water while maintaining agitation.
6. Apply uniformly using a calibrated sprayer and recommended flat-fan nozzle.
7. Follow label instructions for soil moisture, irrigation and subsequent field operations.

Best Time for Application

Pyroxasulfone is primarily used before weed emergence. The exact timing relative to sowing, irrigation and crop emergence depends on the registered crop-specific directions.

Adequate soil moisture is important for herbicide activation. Dry soil conditions may reduce performance, while heavy runoff can move the herbicide away from the treatment area.

Precautions

• Use only for registered crops and labelled weed species.
• Do not apply to crops or varieties without confirmed tolerance.
• Follow recommended seed-covering and application-depth precautions.
• Avoid overlapping spray applications and overdosing.
• Prevent spray drift and runoff into neighbouring crops and water bodies.
• Wear protective gloves, clothing and eye protection.
• Observe subsequent crop and crop-rotation restrictions.
• Use integrated weed management to reduce herbicide resistance risk.
• Store securely away from children, food and animal feed.
