Weedal 480SL is a powerful non-selective systemic herbicide containing 480g/L glyphosate. It effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges. Ideal for land preparation and zero tillage, it ensures complete weed kill from root to shoot, promoting cleaner, more productive fields.
Description
Weedal 480SL is a highly effective non-selective systemic herbicide formulated to eliminate a wide range of annual and perennial grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges in agricultural, industrial, and non-crop areas. Its active ingredient, glyphosate 480 grams per liter (as isopropylamine salt), is a globally recognized chemical for total vegetation control. Weedal 480SL is designed for post-emergence use on actively growing weeds and is ideal for pre-planting land preparation, zero tillage farming, and long-term weed suppression in plantation maintenance.
With its proven action, rapid results, and long-lasting performance, Weedal 480SL helps farmers and land managers maintain clean fields and operational efficiency while minimizing the cost and labor associated with manual or repeated weed control.
Active Ingredient and Formulation
-
Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 480g/L (as isopropylamine salt)
-
Formulation: Soluble Liquid (SL)
-
Mode of Action: Non-selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide
-
Packaging: 200 ml, 500 ml, 1 liter, 5 liters, and 20 liters
Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide that inhibits the EPSP synthase enzyme essential for plant growth. Once absorbed through the foliage, it moves within the plant to the roots and underground storage organs, killing the entire plant.
How Weedal 480SL Works
Weedal 480SL is applied directly to the leaves of growing weeds. After foliar absorption, it is transported throughout the plant, including to the roots, rhizomes, and tubers. This systemic movement ensures the plant dies entirely, not just above ground.
Weeds begin to yellow and wilt within 3 to 5 days, with full desiccation achieved in 7 to 14 days. Because glyphosate is non-selective, it kills nearly all green vegetation it contacts, so it must be applied carefully to avoid damage to desirable crops.
Key Benefits
1. Broad-Spectrum Control
Weedal 480SL controls a wide variety of weed species, including:
-
Broadleaf weeds: Amaranthus spp. (pigweed), Bidens pilosa (blackjack), Galinsoga spp. (gallant soldier), Portulaca oleracea (purslane), Chenopodium album (fat hen)
-
Grasses: Digitaria spp. (finger grass), Cynodon dactylon (couch grass), Eleusine indica (goosegrass), Setaria spp. (foxtail)
-
Sedges: Cyperus rotundus (nutgrass), Cyperus esculentus
2. Systemic Action for Total Kill
By moving through the plant system to its roots, Weedal 480SL prevents regrowth and eliminates underground structures such as rhizomes and tubers. This results in long-term weed suppression and reduces the need for multiple reapplications.
3. Rapid Results
Visible symptoms such as leaf yellowing and wilting appear within a few days. This allows for timely planting or land use following weed clearance.
4. Ideal for Land Preparation and Zero Tillage
Weedal 480SL is widely used in minimum tillage and zero tillage practices. Farmers can clear a field of weeds without disturbing the soil, preserving soil structure and reducing erosion.
5. Safe for Crop Rotation
Glyphosate has no residual soil activity, meaning you can plant crops as early as 7 to 14 days after spraying, depending on conditions and weed density.
6. Cost-Effective and Scalable
A small amount of Weedal 480SL covers a large area, making it economical for both small-scale farmers and commercial operations.
Recommended Uses
Weedal 480SL is suited for:
-
Land preparation before planting maize, beans, wheat, vegetables, and other crops
-
Cleaning weedy orchards, sugarcane, tea, and coffee plantations
-
Maintaining weed-free fence lines, irrigation canals, drainage ditches, and roadsides
-
Clearing paths in flower farms, greenhouses, and non-crop areas
-
Spot treatment around buildings or on weed-infested patches
Application Guidelines
General Application Rate:
-
3.0 to 5.0 liters per hectare, depending on weed type and growth stage
-
For knapsack sprayers: 200 to 300 ml of Weedal 480SL per 20 liters of water
Timing:
-
Apply when weeds are actively growing and not under drought, heat, or nutrient stress
-
Do not apply if rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours of spraying
Spray Volume:
-
Use 200 to 300 liters of spray solution per hectare for ground application
Mixing Instructions:
-
Half-fill the sprayer tank with clean water
-
Add the recommended amount of Weedal 480SL
-
Mix thoroughly
-
Fill the tank to the required volume and agitate
-
Begin spraying immediately
Use flat-fan nozzles for uniform coverage and avoid drift onto crops or desired plants.
Precautions and Safety Measures
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
-
Gloves, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, eye protection, and closed footwear
-
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and inhalation of spray mist
First Aid:
-
If in eyes: Rinse with clean water for 15 minutes
-
If on skin: Wash with soap and water
-
If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical help immediately
-
If inhaled: Move to fresh air and monitor for symptoms
Storage Instructions:
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, food, and animal feed
-
Keep container tightly closed and away from children and animals
Disposal:
-
Do not reuse empty containers
-
Triple-rinse containers and puncture before disposal according to local guidelines
-
Avoid contaminating water sources
Environmental Considerations
While glyphosate is biodegradable and binds strongly to soil, Weedal 480SL should not be applied near water bodies to prevent contamination. Avoid application when wind speeds are high to minimize spray drift.
Buffer zones should be observed when spraying near non-target crops or ecological areas.
Compatibility
Weedal 480SL can be mixed with approved adjuvants like Aquawet 15SL to enhance wetting and coverage, especially when spraying on waxy, hairy, or mature leaves. Do not mix with herbicides containing paraquat or other incompatible formulations unless field-tested.
Performance Tips
-
Apply early in the day or late afternoon to avoid high temperatures and evaporation
-
Ensure uniform spray coverage; missed spots will allow weeds to survive
-
Do not disturb the treated area for at least 7 days to allow full translocation
-
Repeat application may be needed for perennial weeds if regrowth occurs
