Ichiban Undertaker Herbicide | Ichiban Crop Science | Vetrivel Agro Services

Overview

Ichiban Undertaker is a Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL herbicide designed for rapid knockdown of actively growing weeds. It belongs to the bipyridyl group and works primarily through contact with green plant tissue.

Because it is non-selective, contact with desirable crop foliage can cause severe crop injury. Directed spraying is therefore important when using the product around established crops.

Product Highlights

Ichiban's official product page lists Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL and packaging from 250 ml through 20 L.

About the Product

Undertaker acts rapidly on the green foliage of weeds. After contact, paraquat participates in photosynthetic electron transfer and generates reactive oxygen species that damage cell membranes and plant tissues, resulting in rapid desiccation.

Ichiban describes the product as having minimal residual effect, because paraquat rapidly binds to soil particles after reaching the soil.

Key Features

Rapid Contact Action

Produces quick visible injury and desiccation of susceptible green weed tissue.

Broad-Spectrum Control

Helps control both grassy and broadleaf weeds.

Non-Selective Herbicide

Controls a broad range of vegetation rather than selectively targeting specific weed species.

Post-Emergence Application

Designed primarily for application to weeds after emergence.

Directed Application

Can be used as a directed spray around approved crops, provided desirable crop foliage is protected.

Minimal Soil Residual Activity

Ichiban states that the active ingredient is rapidly bound by soil particles, resulting in minimal residual activity.

Recommended Uses

Undertaker is intended for approved crop and non-crop weed-management situations, including directed weed control around certain crops.

Potential agricultural uses include weed management in:

• Cotton
• Potato
• Rubber
• Plantation crops
• Orchard areas
• Other label-approved crops
• Non-crop vegetation-management areas

The exact registered crop list should be confirmed from the current product label before application.

Target Weeds

Undertaker can provide control of susceptible:

Grassy Weeds

• Annual grasses
• Perennial grasses
• Fibrous-rooted weeds
• Cynodon spp.
• Other susceptible grasses

Broadleaf Weeds

• Annual broadleaf weeds
• Broadleaf weeds in plantation/orchard areas
• Other actively growing susceptible weeds

Application Guidelines

Directed Spray

Apply directly onto the green foliage of the target weeds while avoiding contact with desirable crops.

Recommended Dose

Ichiban's published product information gives a general recommendation of approximately:

1–1.7 litres per acre in 200 litres of water.

Use the current product label for the crop-specific dose and spray volume.

Best Application Stage

Apply when weeds are:

• Actively growing
• Young to moderately developed
• Providing sufficient green foliage for spray coverage

Spray Coverage

Thorough coverage of the target weed foliage is essential because Undertaker is primarily a contact herbicide.

Fertigation

Not recommended.

Soil Application

Not intended as a conventional soil-applied herbicide.

Frequency

Follow the registered label and integrated weed-management recommendations. Avoid unnecessary repeat applications.

Important Precautions

• Do not allow spray to contact desirable crop foliage.
• Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, garden plants and other desirable vegetation.
• Use appropriate protective equipment during mixing and spraying.
• Keep people and animals away from treated areas according to the product label.
• Follow all label safety, re-entry and disposal instructions.
