Bayer Council Activ herbicide is a selective post-emergence herbicide mainly used in paddy for early weed management. Bayer Council Activ herbicide works through both leaf and soil activity, helping control weeds for a longer period. It works by stopping ALS enzyme activity in sensitive weeds, which slows their growth and gradually kills them. Bayer Council Activ herbicide controls major grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds that compete with rice during the early growth stage. This herbicide is also very cost-effective as it provides strong protection at very low doses.
Broad Weed Control: Bayer Council Activ herbicide manages grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in paddy, reducing early crop competition.
Dual Activ Formula: This herbicide offers both foliar and soil-based action for stronger weed suppression.
Targeted Protection: Bayer Council Activ herbicide is especially used for transplanted paddy and wet DSR rice.
Longer Residual Effect: It helps stop later weed flushes when the field has proper moisture after spraying.
Safe for Crops: Bayer Council Activ herbicide is selective to rice when applied at the recommended dose and stage.
Effective Working: This herbicide reduces the need for repeated manual weeding when sprayed early and evenly.
Grassy Weeds: Jungle rice, cockspur grass, barnyard grass, Echinochloa colona, Echinochloa crus-galli.
Sedges: Purple nut sedge, variable flat sedge, Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus difformis, Fimbristylis miliacea.
Broadleaf Weeds: False amaranth, Bengal dayflower, Digera arvensis, Commelina benghalensis.
Fern-Type and Moisture-Loving Weeds: Clover fern, Marsilea quadrifolia, and other early-stage paddy weeds. Bayer also lists weeds such as jungle rice, variable flat sedge, lesser fimbristylis, purple nut sedge, cockspur, clover fern, Bengal dayflower, and false amaranth under its weed-control spectrum.
Use as a foliar spray. For best results, Bayer Council Activ herbicide should be sprayed early when weeds are small and actively growing. Council Activ herbicide dose per litre: 10 g is a common farmer search, but practically this should be understood as around 9 to 10 g per 15 to 16-litre spray pump, not 10 g in every litre. The acre dose is generally 90 g per acre with about 150 to 200 litres of water for uniform coverage.
Crop | Target Weed | Dose Per Acre | Application Method | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Transplanted Paddy | Echinochloa colona, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus difformis, Fimbristylis miliacea, Marsilea quadrifolia | 90 gm | Foliar spray in 150 to 200 L water | 83 days |
Wet DSR Rice | Echinochloa colona, Cyperus rotundus, Digera arvensis, Commelina benghalensis | 90 gm | Foliar spray with even field coverage | 83 days |
The 90 gm dose and listed paddy weeds are also supported by product listings for the same Activ ingredient combination.
