Dosage and Application Method

Mode of Action

Nichino Stigma Herbicide contains Imazethapyr 10% SL, an imidazolinone herbicide. It accumulates in the meristematic region of target weeds and inhibits the acetolactate synthase enzyme. This blocks the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids, stops weed growth and supports effective weed control when applied as per label recommendation.

Stigma is absorbed by both leaves and roots and moves through xylem and phloem. This systemic movement helps manage target weeds in soybean and groundnut under proper application practices.
