Hakama Herbicide by IIL is a selective, post-emergence solution designed to tackle narrow-leaf weeds (Gramineae family) in a wide range of broadleaf crops. Powered by Quizalofop Ethyl 5% EC, Hakama works by disrupting lipid synthesis in the weed's cells—crippling their ability to grow and survive.

It shows visible effects within 5–8 days, turning weed leaves purplish-red before complete kill in 10–15 days. Its excellent translocation properties make it effective even on perennial grasses like Cynodon dactylon and Sorghum halepense. Hakama is rainfast within 1 hour and can be applied at any crop stage—offering unmatched flexibility to Indian farmers.

Whether you're growing soybean, cotton, or mentha, Hakama ensures fewer weeds, healthier crops, and improved yields. Explore more weed solutions in our Post-Emergence Herbicides Collection. For detailed weed biology and control techniques, refer to ICAR's Weed Management Manual [ICAR 2021].
