Active Ingredient

Triafamone 20% + Ethoxysulfuron 10% WG

This dual formulation combines Triafamone, which provides systemic and long-lasting grass weed control, with Ethoxysulfuron, a potent sulfonylurea herbicide targeting broadleaf and sedge weeds. Together, they deliver complete and selective weed suppression without harming the rice crop.

Pack Size Information

Available in an easy-to-handle 75gm water-dispersible granule (WG) pack. Its concentrated formulation provides efficient coverage per acre, reducing application costs and ensuring excellent field performance.

Recommended Crops

Council Activ is specially formulated to fit modern paddy weed management programs, offering flexibility and reliability in different rice-growing regions.

Target Weeds Controlled

Effectively controls a broad spectrum of weeds, including:

Key Benefits

✅ Broad-Spectrum Weed Control: Controls grasses, broadleaves, and sedges in one application.

✅ Dual Action Formula: Combines two active ingredients for complete coverage.

✅ Crop Selectivity: Safe on rice plants, even at higher doses.

✅ Long-Lasting Residual Effect: Protects crops for weeks after application.

Mode of Action

Council Activ works systemically and selectively — absorbed through weed leaves and roots. It inhibits essential enzyme pathways (ALS inhibition) responsible for weed growth, leading to chlorosis, stunting, and eventual death while keeping rice unaffected.

Dosage & Application

• Recommended Dose: 75gm per hectare (follow local agronomic recommendations).
• Dilution: Mix uniformly in 200 liters of water per hectare.
• Spray Timing: Apply 15–25 days after transplanting or as weeds emerge.
• Spray Method: Use a flat-fan nozzle for uniform distribution.
• Compatibility: Compatible with most post-emergence rice herbicides (perform a jar test before mixing).

Safety & Precautions

• Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask during handling and spraying.
• Avoid drift to non-target crops.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not re-enter treated fields until the spray has dried completely.
• Dispose of empty containers safely according to local environmental regulations.
