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

• Paddy (Rice) – both transplanted and direct-seeded varieties

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:

• Grassy weeds: Echinochloa spp. (Barnyard grass), Leptochloa chinensis, Ischaemum rugosum
• Broadleaf weeds: Eclipta alba, Ammania baccifera, Alternanthera sessilis
• Sedges: Cyperus difformis, Fimbristylis miliacea, Cyperus iria

Its selective mode of action ensures rice plants remain safe while weeds are eliminated completely.

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.
• Flexible Application Timing: Can be used post-emergence for maximum convenience.
• Improved Crop Health: Prevents weed competition, ensuring better tillering and growth.
• Saves Time and Labor: Reduces manual weeding and repeated sprays.

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.
