Krishi Rasayan M-Power is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence contact herbicide containing Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL. It is recommended for directed management of label-listed grasses, sedges and broadleaf weeds in cotton and tea.
M-Power acts mainly on the green plant tissues contacted by the spray. Because it has limited movement within weeds, complete and uniform foliage coverage is important. Use a hood or protective spray shield and prevent spray droplets from contacting the leaves, shoots, stems or other green parts of the main crop.

Dose note: Dose and water volume depend on the crop, weed species, weed size and spray equipment. Always confirm the exact dose, waiting period and directions from the current M-Power product label before application.
Avoid spraying weeds covered with heavy dust, dew or standing water. Do not spray during strong wind or when rainfall is expected. Maintain the rain-free interval stated on the product label rather than relying on an assumed fixed rainfastness period.
Glufosinate Ammonium belongs to HRAC/WSSA Group 10. It inhibits the glutamine synthetase enzyme, which normally helps plants incorporate ammonia into amino acids. Enzyme inhibition causes ammonia to accumulate inside susceptible weed tissues.
The resulting disruption of nitrogen metabolism reduces photosynthetic activity and damages plant cells. Visible yellowing, browning and drying develop on adequately treated foliage, with the rate of action varying according to weed size, species, coverage and weather conditions.
M-Power is a post-emergence contact herbicide containing Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL. It helps control label-listed grasses, sedges and broadleaf weeds.
Glufosinate has non-selective activity and can damage most green plants it contacts. Crop selectivity depends on using it as a carefully directed or shielded inter-row spray without touching the main crop.
The official Krishi Rasayan product information lists cotton and tea. Do not use it on another crop or non-crop site unless that use is printed on the current product label.
The crop-specific reference range is approximately 1–1.32 litres per acre. Confirm the exact dose and water quantity from the current product label.
Cyperus rotundus is listed for cotton. The spray can damage its contacted foliage, but established underground tubers may produce regrowth. Follow-up weed management may therefore be required.
No. Unless the crop variety and label specifically permit over-the-top use, protect cotton leaves, stems and other green parts by using a directed, hooded inter-row spray.
Do not mix it with another herbicide, pesticide or fertilizer unless the combination is specifically permitted on the label or recommended by a qualified agricultural professional.
Visible symptoms and final control depend on the weed species, growth stage, coverage, dose and weather. Avoid promising complete control within a fixed period.
