Izuka Herbicide is a highly effective post-emergent solution specially designed to control Cyperus rotundus (commonly known as motha or nutgrass) in sugarcane fields. Powered by Halosulfuron-methyl 75% WG, Izuka moves systemically through the plant to eliminate weeds right from their underground tubers, preventing regrowth.
This herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and roots of Cyperus weeds, where it inhibits ALS (Acetolactate Synthase) enzyme activity—disrupting protein synthesis in the plant. Farmers can expect visible yellowing and stunting within 7–14 days, with complete control in 3–4 weeks [ICAR 2022].
Izuka is safe for sugarcane and does not harm the crop when used as directed. It is most effective when sprayed at the 3–5 leaf stage of weed growth. The formulation is water-dispersible, easy to mix, and compatible with most non-ionic surfactants for better leaf coverage.
