Shivalik Shavak (Diclosulam 84% WDG) is a selective, systemic herbicide manufactured by Shivalik Crop Sciences. It is widely used for controlling stubborn broadleaf weeds and sedges in key legume crops.
1. Product Description & Details
-
Active Ingredient: Diclosulam 84% (Water Dispersible Granules - WDG formulation).
-
Chemical Class: Triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide.
-
Formulation Type: WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) ensures low dust, easy measuring, and quick dispersion in water.
-
Target Crops: Primarily Soybean and Groundnut (Peanut).
-
Target Weeds: Effective against major annual broadleaf weeds and sedges, including:
-
Commelina benghalensis (Banana weed / Kankaua)
-
Eclipta alba
-
Parthenium hysterophorus
-
Cyperus spp. (Sedges)
-
Euphorbia geniculata & Amaranthus spp.
-
-
Mode of Action: It is absorbed by the roots and shoots of germinating weeds. It acts by inhibiting the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme, halting amino acid synthesis, stopping cell division, and ultimately killing the weeds.
2. Recommended Dosage
-
Standard Dosage: Approximately 12.4 grams per acre (or roughly 30–35 grams per hectare, depending on regional recommendations and weed intensity).
-
Application Timing: Best applied as a pre-emergence treatment (within 0 to 3 days of sowing) or early post-emergence when weeds are very small (typically under the 3-leaf stage).
-
Mixing/Application: Dissolve thoroughly in clean water and apply uniformly across the field using a flat-fan nozzle. Often used with recommended non-ionic surfactants or tank-mixed with residual herbicides like Pendimethalin or Imazethapyr for a broader spectrum of control.
3. Key Benefits
-
Low Application Rate: Highly economical and efficient at a very low active ingredient dosage per acre (around 12.4 g).
-
Long Residual Activity: Provides extended soil residual control, keeping fields clean of late-flushing weeds during critical early crop growth stages.
-
Crop Selectivity: Highly selective to target legumes (soybean/groundnut), ensuring safety for the main crop while suppressing harsh weeds.
-
Rainfastness: Generally rainfast within 4 to 6 hours after application.
-
Compatibility: Mixes well with other commonly used pre-plant and pre-emergence herbicides.
4. Safety Precautions & Handling
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear protective gloves, safety glasses, long-sleeved clothing, and a face mask during mixing and spraying.
-
Avoid Contact: Prevent direct contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not inhale dust or spray mist.
-
Environmental Safety: Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Do not contaminate water bodies, ponds, or drainage systems with leftover spray or container washings.
-
Storage: Store securely in its original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place (ideally between 15°C to 30°C), safely away from children, food, and animal feed.
