Ichiban Osaka Herbicide | Vetrivel Agro Services

Overview

Ichiban Osaka is formulated with Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC, a selective herbicide used for early-season weed management. Oxyfluorfen belongs to the diphenyl-ether herbicide group and is primarily used for pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of susceptible weeds.

It forms a treatment zone near the soil surface and affects susceptible weeds as they emerge. It is particularly useful for managing annual broadleaf weeds and certain grassy weeds in crops where Oxyfluorfen is approved.

Product Highlights

About the Product

Osaka provides effective early weed management by targeting susceptible weeds during germination and early growth. Oxyfluorfen acts by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO/Protox), resulting in disruption of plant cell membranes and death of susceptible weed tissues.

As a pre-emergence herbicide, it creates a chemical barrier close to the soil surface and controls weeds as they emerge. It can also provide early post-emergence activity against young, actively growing weeds.

Key Features

Broad-Spectrum Weed Control

Controls a wide range of annual broadleaf weeds and certain annual grasses.

Pre-Emergence Activity

Provides an effective weed-control barrier during the early stages of crop establishment.

Early Post-Emergence Activity

Can also act on young, actively growing weeds when used according to approved recommendations.

Contact & Residual Action

Provides contact activity against susceptible weed tissues together with residual activity in the treated soil zone.

PPO Inhibition

Oxyfluorfen inhibits the PPO enzyme in susceptible weeds, causing rapid damage to plant tissues.

Convenient EC Formulation

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation can be diluted with water and applied using suitable agricultural spraying equipment.

Recommended Crops

• Onion
• Potato
• Groundnut
• Direct-Sown Rice
• Tea

Current Indian registration information confirms Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC use in direct-sown rice, tea, potato, onion and groundnut; however, crop registrations can change, so the current Osaka label should be checked before application.

Target Weeds

Depending on the crop, Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC products are used against weeds including:

• Chenopodium album
• Amaranthus viridis
• Cyperus spp.
• Echinochloa spp.
• Eclipta alba
• Digitaria spp.
• Imperata spp.
• Paspalum spp.
• Trianthema spp.
• Heliotropium spp.
• Other susceptible annual broadleaf and grassy weeds

The exact weed spectrum varies by crop and approved label recommendation.

Application Guidelines

Pre-Emergence Application

Apply uniformly to the soil surface during the recommended pre-emergence window. Adequate soil moisture can help activate the herbicide barrier.

Early Post-Emergence

Where permitted by the crop label, apply when weeds are young and actively growing. Avoid spraying beyond the recommended weed-growth stage.

Typical Dose Reference

For Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC formulations, published Indian product recommendations include:

These are reference ranges for Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC products, not a substitute for the specific Osaka label. Follow the dosage printed on the Osaka pack for the crop being treated.

Fertigation

Not recommended as a conventional fertigation product.

Best Application Stage

• Pre-emergence
• Immediately after sowing/transplanting where label-approved
• Early post-emergence when weeds are small
• Before weeds become well established

Frequency

Usually applied as part of an early-season weed-management program. Further applications should only be made when specifically permitted by the product label and based on weed pressure.

Benefits

• Controls annual broadleaf weeds
• Helps suppress certain annual grasses
• Provides pre-emergence weed protection
• Provides early post-emergence activity
• Offers contact and residual weed-control activity
• Reduces early weed competition
• Helps crops utilize available nutrients, water, and sunlight more effectively
• Supports cleaner crop establishment and yield potential

Storage Instructions

Storage

Store Osaka in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight, heat, food, animal feed, and unauthorized access.

Handling

Wear appropriate gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and other recommended PPE during mixing and application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhaling spray mist. Prevent spray drift onto non-target crops and water bodies.
