Cheetah Herbicide – Imazethapyr 10% SL for Weed Control

CHEETAH herbicide, containing imazethapyr 10% SL, is a systemic solution for effective weed control in soybean, groundnut, and pulse crops. Absorbed through roots and foliage, it moves via xylem and phloem to growing regions, disrupting protein and DNA synthesis in weeds. Its residual soil activity prevents new weed germination, supporting healthy crop growth and higher yields. Farmers benefit from reduced manual weeding and lower labor costs while protecting subsequent crops. For crop-specific guidelines, check our Herbicides Category Page. For official guidance on safe pesticide use, see ICAR Weed Management Guidelines.
