IMEZA-10 (Imazethapyr 10% SL)

IMEZA-10 (Imazethapyr 10% SL) is a selective herbicide from the diphenyl ether group, formulated to give reliable control of broadleaf weeds and many annual grasses. Recommended for crops such as onion, tea, groundnut, direct-seeded rice (DSR) and mint, IMEZA-10 suppresses weed emergence by forming a chemical barrier on the soil surface and acts on new, actively growing weed tissue. It delivers both contact and surface residual action — keeping fields clean during the critical crop establishment period.

Product Specifications

Key Benefits

• Forms a chemical soil surface barrier — prevents weed emergence and protects the crop establishment phase.
• Effective on a wide range of broadleaf weeds and many grasses; also helps suppress perennial shoots.
• Suitable for pre-emergence and early post-emergence use depending on crop and label instructions.
• Crop-safe when used as directed; recommended crops remain unaffected under normal conditions.
• Easy to apply and integrate into standard weed-management programs for DSR, onion and other recommended crops.

Compatibility

IMEZA-10 is generally compatible with common agrochemicals, but always perform a jar compatibility test before mixing. Avoid mixing with highly alkaline solutions or unknown formulations.

Storage & Handling

• Store in original tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from food, animal feed and drinking water; store away from children and livestock.
• Follow personal protective equipment (PPE) guidance on the product label when handling and applying.

Application & Dosage

Apply IMEZA-10 uniformly with a calibrated sprayer. Best results occur when applied to a moist, weed-free seedbed or early after sowing/transplanting depending on crop. Sunlight is required for optimum activity — do not cover treated soil with mulch or incorporate mechanically immediately after application unless specified on label.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: When should IMEZA-10 be applied?
Ideally at pre-emergence or very early post-emergence depending on crop — apply to bare or lightly disturbed soil surface for best barrier action.

Q2: Does IMEZA-10 require sunlight?
Yes — IMEZA-10 needs sunlight for optimum activity as it acts on young emerging tissues and surface-formed barrier.

Q3: Will it harm the recommended crops?
When used according to label instructions, the recommended crops (onion, tea, groundnut, DSR, mint) are not affected. Always follow dose and timing on the product label.

Q4: Can IMEZA-10 be mixed with other sprays?
It can be tank-mixed with compatible products after a jar test. Avoid mixes with strongly alkaline or unknown products.
