Delivery
Overview
UPL Sweep Power is a non-selective post-emergence herbicide based on Glufosinate Ammonium. It is designed to provide broad-spectrum weed management, particularly against hard-to-kill weeds in plantation and field-crop situations. UPL describes it as a new-generation herbicide with strong activity against difficult weed populations.
Its active ingredient, Glufosinate Ammonium, inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase, disrupting nitrogen metabolism in susceptible weeds and resulting in rapid plant injury and death. UPL classifies Sweep Power as a contact herbicide.

About the Product
Sweep Power is formulated for directed weed spraying, making it particularly useful where weeds need to be controlled while minimizing contact with the crop.
Because it is non-selective, it can injure desirable green vegetation that receives the spray. Directed application and careful spray coverage are therefore essential.
Glufosinate ammonium works by inhibiting glutamine synthetase, causing accumulation of ammonia and disruption of essential plant processes in susceptible weeds.
Key Features
Broad-Spectrum Weed Control
Controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges.
Effective Against Hard-to-Kill Weeds
UPL positions Sweep Power particularly for difficult weed populations that can be challenging to manage with conventional weed-control programs.
Non-Selective Action
Provides broad-spectrum vegetation control rather than selectively targeting a particular weed group.
Contact Activity
The product acts primarily on the green plant tissue contacted by the spray, making thorough coverage important.
Post-Emergence Application
Designed for application after weeds have emerged and are actively growing.
Low Spray-Drift Crop Injury
UPL highlights low spray-drift injury when the product is used correctly, particularly with directed spraying.
Recommended Crops
Cotton
UPL recommends Sweep Power for controlling several important grassy weeds in cotton, including:
- Cynodon dactylon
- Cyperus rotundus
- Dactyloteneum aegyptium
- Digitaria marginata
- Echinochloa spp.
Tea
UPL recommends Sweep Power for weeds including:
- Borreria hispida
- Imperata cylindrica
- Ageratum conyzoides
- Commelina benghalensis
- Eleusine indica
- Panicum repens
- Paspalum conjugatum
- Digitaria sanguinalis
Application Guidelines
Directed Spray
UPL specifically recommends directed spraying only onto weeds.
Avoid spraying the crop foliage because Sweep Power is non-selective.
Weed Growth Stage
Apply when weeds are actively growing and approximately 4–6 inches high.
Dose
UPL's published recommendation for tea is:
1.32 litres/acre
For cotton, use the crop-specific dosage stated on the current product label because the UPL product page does not display a complete numerical dose in the cotton row.
Water & Spray Coverage
Use sufficient spray volume to obtain proper and uniform coverage of the target weeds.
Rain-Free Period
Maintain a minimum 6-hour rain-free period after spraying.
Fertigation
Not recommended.
Soil Application
Not recommended. Sweep Power is intended for foliar/direct contact application to emerged weeds.
Frequency
Follow the current product label and integrated weed-management recommendations. Avoid unnecessary repeat applications.
