Sumitomo Glycel herbicide is a non-selective and post-emergent weed removal herbicide that offers a systemic mode of action. It works by inhibiting an essential enzyme, preventing weeds from producing essential amino acids, leading to a complete cessation of growth and eventual weed death. The Glycel herbicide can be used against a broad spectrum of weeds in farms and non-cropped areas, making it highly versatile. This herbicide is safe to use as it breaks down easily.
Broad-Spectrum: Glycel herbicide controls annual grassy weeds, perennial grassy weeds, sedges, etc., making it highly versatile.
Systemic Translocation: Glycel herbicide moves through the phloem to all parts of the weed, ensuring effective weed removal.
Safe to Use: Sumitomo Glycel herbicide breaks down easily in the soil, leaving behind no harmful residue affecting subsequent harvests.
Versatile Application: The Glycel herbicide can be used for tea plantations and non-cropped areas such as roadsides, bunds, etc.
Quick Results: This herbicide shows results after just 7 to 14 days, with visible effects taking place in 2 to 4 days for quick results.
Rainfast performance: Glycel herbicide can not be washed away by rain easily after a certain time of application, ensuring the best results.
Glycel Herbicide uses cover all weed types across registered and directed-spray areas:
Annual Grassy Weeds: Echinochloa spp. (Barnyard Grass), Digitaria spp. (Crabgrass), Dactyloctenium aegyptium (Crowfoot Grass), Eleusine indica (Goosegrass)
Perennial Grassy Weeds: Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda / Doob Grass), Imperata cylindrica (Thatch Grass), Saccharum spontaneum (Wild Sugarcane)
Sedges: Cyperus rotundus (Nut Grass / Motha), Cyperus spp.
Broadleaf Weeds: Amaranthus spp., Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress Grass), Tridax procumbens, Ageratum conyzoides
Registered Use Areas: Tea Plantations (registered); directed spray in non-crop areas, roadsides, bunds, irrigation channels, and field borders; Pre-sowing use in Paddy and Cotton fields
The Glycel Herbicide How To Use steps ensure maximum weed absorption and translocation:
Measure the required dose of Glycel Herbicide as per the weed type and application area in the dose table below.
Add the measured quantity to a sprayer tank half-filled with clean water and mix well before topping up.
Use a flat fan nozzle fitted with a spray hood for directed inter-row applications — always protect crop foliage from any spray contact.
Direct the spray onto the green leaf and stem surface of actively growing weeds — Glycel must contact the green weed surface for absorption and translocation.
Apply when weeds are at the 6–8 inch growth stage and actively growing — young, actively growing weeds absorb Glyphosate most efficiently.
Allow at least 4–6 hours of dry weather after spraying — do not spray if rain is expected within this window.
Do not allow Glycel Herbicide spray to contact green crop tissue — it is non-selective and will damage all vegetation it contacts.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after use.
The Glycel Herbicide Dosage Per Litre is 10–20 ml per litre of water — adjusted for weed type, weed size, and application area.
Use Area | Dose Per Acre | Per Litre | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tea Plantations — Annual Weeds | 1.0–1.5 litres | 10–15 ml | Directed spray between rows |
Tea Plantations — Perennial Weeds | 1.5–2.0 litres | 15–20 ml | Higher dose for established perennials |
Non-Crop Areas — All Weed Types | 1.5–2.0 litres | 15–20 ml | Broadcast or directed on actively growing weeds |
Paddy / Cotton (Pre-Sowing) | 1.0–1.5 litres | 10–15 ml | Apply 7–10 days before sowing |
Frequency of Application: Apply as needed for each flush of weed emergence. One well-timed application per weed flush is generally sufficient. Repeat as needed for newly emerging weed flushes across the season.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated areas for at least 24 hours after spraying. Allow spray solution to dry and settle fully before re-entry.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Glycel Herbicide is generally used as a standalone product. If combining with other herbicides, always perform a jar test. Avoid mixing with hard or alkaline water.
Glycel is non-selective — it will kill any green plant it contacts, including crop plants. Always use a spray hood for directed inter-row applications.
Do not apply to waterlogged, drought-stressed, or submerged weeds.
Always rinse the sprayer with clean water before using it for any crop spray after a Glycel herbicide application.
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Glycel herbicide.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.
Do not allow spray drift onto crop plants, neighbouring fields, or water bodies.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
Store Glycel in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep away from food, animal feed, and seeds.
Store out of reach of children and farm animals.
Do not store in metal containers — IPA salt Glyphosate formulations can corrode certain metals.
Storage Temperature: Below 35°C.
Shelf Life: 2 years from the date of manufacture.
