Hitweed Maxx Dosage:

Crop | Target Weeds | Dose / Acre | Per Litre | Per 15L Pump |
|---|
Cotton | Grasses, Broadleaves, Sedges | 300–400 ml | 1.5–2 ml | 22–30 ml |
Water Volume: Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for uniform coverage.
Pump dose: Use 22 to 30 ml per 15-litre knapsack pump for general application.
Application Timing: 20 to 30 days after sowing (DAS) — when cotton is established, and weeds are at 2 to 4-leaf stage.
How to Use Godrej Hitweed Maxx Herbicide:
Check the cotton field to see the weed size — 2 to 4-leaf stage is the right time to spray herbicide.
Wear gloves and a face mask before opening the bottle.
Shake the bottle well and measure the required quantity using a marked cup or syringe.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.
Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.
Use a flat-fan nozzle for herbicide application — never a hollow-cone insecticide nozzle.
Spray evenly over the cotton field, without going over the same area twice.
Do not spray on windy days to avoid the spray drifting onto nearby broadleaf crops.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Godrej Hitweed Maxx Herbicide at the early post-emergence stage — 20 to 30 days after sowing, when cotton has established and grassy and broadleaf weeds are at the 2 to 4-leaf stage and actively growing. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, when leaf temperature is cooler, and weed absorption is stronger. Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: Only 1 post-emergence spray per cotton cycle — do not repeat the same herbicide in the same season.
Re-Entry Period: Wait 24 hours after spraying Hitweed Maxx Herbicide before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: It is best used stand-alone. Do NOT tank-mix with insecticides, fungicides, or fertilizers as it may reduce herbicide activity or damage the crop. Always use a separate sprayer dedicated for herbicide use.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear full protective clothing including hand gloves, face mask, and goggles before handling.
Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking during the entire mixing and spraying operation.
Spray only in calm weather conditions to avoid drift and inhalation.
After application, change clothes and take a bath with soap and clean water.
Keep the product label handy and contact a physician immediately in case of any exposure or ingestion.
