Dosage and Application Method

Mix 20 gm of Affinity in the required quantity of clean water as per sprayer capacity, and apply uniformly over the crop when broadleaf weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage, as per label recommendation. Ensure thorough foliar coverage for best results, and avoid application during heavy dew or expected rainfall. Always confirm exact dose and water volume based on field conditions before use.

Mode of Action

FMC Affinity works through its active ingredient Carfentrazone Ethyl, a post-emergent contact herbicide that acts on treated weed foliage. On contact, it disrupts cell membrane function in target broadleaf weeds, leading to rapid desiccation and control, while remaining selective enough to avoid harming the wheat crop when applied as per label recommendation.

FMC Affinity is a suitable choice for wheat growers looking for a fast-acting, selective herbicide for broadleaf weed management. Its quick knockdown action, tank-mix compatibility, and wheat-specific safety profile make it a useful tool for reducing weed competition and supporting better wheat productivity, applied as per label recommendation.
