Kapiq is a non-selective and contact-based herbicide that targets grassy and broad-leaf weeds. It disrupts the photosynthesis process of the weeds and stops further growth within a few hours of application. Kapiq herbicide provides visible results and does not leave any residue on the soil. It provides rainfast performance and reduces reapplication rates of the product.

Kapiq Herbicide How to Use:
Check the field to see the weed size — younger weeds (2 to 4-leaf stage) are easier to kill.
Wear gloves and a face mask before opening the Kapiq Herbicide 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 with a spray hood or shield for herbicide application — never a hollow-cone insecticide nozzle.
Direct the spray only on weeds — avoid contact with the main crop as Kapiq Herbicide is non-selective and can damage any green plant it touches.
Do not spray on windy days to avoid the spray drifting onto crops or nearby plants.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Krishi Rasayan Kapiq Herbicide during the active weed growth stage — when weeds have plenty of green leaves for the product to enter through. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, when leaf temperature is cooler, and product absorption is stronger. Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 2 to 4 hours after application.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 1 to 2 sprays of Kapiq Herbicide per season, depending on weed pressure. Perennial weeds may need a second follow-up spray after 20 to 25 days.
Re-Entry Period: Wait 24 to 48 hours after spraying Krishi Rasayan Kapiq Herbicide before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing — Paraquat is a highly toxic compound and needs strict re-entry precautions.
Compatibility: Kapiq Herbicide is best used stand-alone. Do NOT tank-mix with insecticides, fungicides, or fertilizers as it may reduce herbicide activity. Always use a separate sprayer dedicated for herbicide use.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear full protective clothing including hand gloves, face mask, goggles, and long sleeves before handling Krishi Rasayan Kapiq Herbicide — Paraquat is highly toxic.
Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking during the entire mixing and spraying operation.
Spray only in calm weather conditions to avoid drift onto crops or workers.
After application, change clothes and take a bath with soap and clean water immediately.
In case of any exposure or accidental ingestion, contact a physician immediately along with the product label — there is NO known antidote for Paraquat, so speed matters.
