-
Fast action: Grass weeds stop growing within 48 hours; visible yellowing in 5 to 7 days; complete kill in 10 to 14 days
-

How Does ZIP SUPER Work?
Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl is a systemic ACCase inhibitor (HRAC Group A):
-
Foliar absorption: Enters grass weeds through leaves within 1 to 2 hours of spray
-
Phloem translocation: Moves to growing points and meristems
-
Blocks ACCase enzyme: Stops fatty acid synthesis — essential for new cell membrane formation in grasses
-
Grass weed dies: Growth stops in 48 hours, full kill in 10 to 14 days. Broadleaf crops naturally tolerate this enzyme inhibition
Fenoxaprop vs Clodinafop vs Sulfosulfuron in Wheat? Fenoxaprop (ZIP SUPER) is the most widely used and proven Phalaris killer works in 2 to 4 leaf weed stage.
Clodinafop works similarly but resistance is reported in Punjab/Haryana.
Sulfosulfuron is for late-stage weeds and broader weed mix. For first-line Phalaris control: use ZIP SUPER. For broadleaf weeds in wheat, tank-mix with
2,4-D Amine Salt after 7-day gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl 9.3% EC used for? ZIP SUPER (Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl 9.3% EC) is a selective post-emergent grass herbicide. It controls Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda/Mandusi) in wheat and other grass weeds in soybean, onion, mustard, pulses, and direct-seeded rice without harming the main crop.
Q. What is the dose of Fenoxaprop per acre in wheat? The recommended dose is 400 ml per acre dissolved in 150 to 200 litres of water. Per hectare: 1000 ml (1 litre). Spray at 30 to 35 days after sowing (DAS), when Phalaris weeds are at 2 to 4 leaf stage.
Q. How much ZIP SUPER per 15 litre pump? Mix 50 to 60 ml of ZIP SUPER per 15 litre knapsack pump. One acre needs approximately 7 to 8 pumps with full water.
Q. When is the best time to spray Fenoxaprop in wheat? Spray at 30 to 35 days after sowing (DAS), when Phalaris minor is at the 2 to 4 leaf stage. Do not wait until weeds are flowering — late spray loses 30 to 50% efficacy.
Q. Is ZIP SUPER safe for wheat and soybean? Yes. Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl is selective — it kills only grass weeds and does not harm wheat, soybean, onion, mustard, pulses, or other broadleaf/cereal crops when applied at recommended dose.
Q. Will it control Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda) in wheat? Yes. Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl is the #1 chemical solution for Phalaris minor in Indian wheat. Spray at 30 to 35 DAS, when weeds are at 2 to 4 leaf stage, with full water coverage for best results.
Q. Can I tank-mix ZIP SUPER with 2,4-D for broadleaf weeds? No, do not tank-mix. Fenoxaprop and 2,4-D are antagonistic — mixing them in the same tank reduces both products' performance. Spray ZIP SUPER first, then 2,4-D after a 7-day gap for combined grass + broadleaf control.
Q. ZIP SUPER vs Whip Super what is the difference? Both contain the same active ingredient: Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl 9.3% EC. Whip Super (Bayer) is the original brand. Krishikranti ZIP SUPER offers the same molecule, same efficacy, same dose at better farmer value.
Q. Is it rain-fast? Yes. ZIP SUPER is rain-fast within 1 hour after spray. Once absorbed into the weed, rain does not wash it off.
