Exylon Orion is a selective, broad-spectrum herbicide that contains Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC, which targets a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds such as barnyard grass, watergrass, crabgrass, and others. Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC herbicide works through contact action and provides pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control.
Exylon Orion herbicide is quickly absorbed by the weeds and disrupts their chlorophyll formation, leading to their death. Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC minimizes weed competition and allows crops like onion and tea to grow effectively, ensuring healthy yield.

How to Use Exylon Orion Herbicide:
Apply on a well-prepared, weed-free, and moist soil surface.
Mix the recommended dose with clean water and prepare a uniform spray solution.
Use a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle for even soil coverage.
Apply within 0 to 3 days after sowing or transplanting for pre-emergence use.
Maintain adequate soil moisture during application of Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC herbicide.
Do not disturb the soil after spraying, as this can break the herbicide barrier.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC herbicide at the pre-emergence stage within 0 to 3 days after sowing or transplanting. In transplanted onion and rice, apply after 3 to 5 days once the crop roots are settled. For early post-emergence use, spray when weeds are still small and actively growing, usually at the 2 to 3 leaf stage.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: Apply Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC herbicide once as a pre-emergence spray per crop cycle.
Re-Entry Period: Wait at least 24 hours before entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: Prefer using Orion Herbicide alone. If tank-mixing is required, perform a jar test first.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, a face mask, and protective eyewear during mixing and spraying.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the herbicide.
Use a separate sprayer for herbicide application to avoid crop damage from residues.
Wash hands and exposed skin after use.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated areas.
Seek medical help immediately in case of accidental ingestion.
