Mode of action:

  • CRICEL is from the Organophosphorus group.
  • It works by inhibiting the EPSPS enzyme, blocking the production of essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis.
  • This disruption leads to the gradual death of the weed from the inside out.

Method and Time of application:

  • Apply in tea plantations and non-crop areas to control annual, perennial, broadleaf, and grassy weeds.
  • Use as a foliar spray when weeds have 4–8 leaves.
  • Mix CRICEL in a small amount of water, stir well, then add the remaining water.
  • Spray evenly over the target area. Water volume depends on the area to be treated.
