Recall

Description

What is RECALL?

RECALL is a dual pre-emergence herbicide specifically designed to control broadleaf weeds in garlic crops. It combines two active ingredients: Pendimethalin (17%) and Acetochlor (25%), offering a powerful solution to ensure that your garlic grows healthy and strong by preventing unwanted weed competition. With its proven effectiveness, RECALL is trusted by farmers across Pakistan to protect crops and maximize yield.

Key Benefits

• Dual action formula for powerful weed control.
• Effective against broadleaf weeds in garlic.
• Ideal for pre-emergence application.
• Improves garlic crop health and yield.
• Easy-to-use liquid formulation for quick application.

How It Works

RECALL works by inhibiting two essential processes in the weeds. Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide, which inhibits microtubule formation in weed cells, preventing cell division and growth. Acetochlor, a chloroacetamide herbicide, targets the formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), disrupting cellular function in young weeds. Together, these two ingredients provide broad-spectrum control over weeds before they can emerge and compete with the crop.

Local Advice for Pakistani Farmers

RECALL is an ideal solution for farmers in Balochistan, KPK, Punjab, and Sindh. In regions with dry, hot climates, like Punjab and Sindh, the pre-emergence herbicide can be particularly effective. For garlic crops, it’s important to apply RECALL before the weeds start to emerge, especially during the early stages of crop growth.

Farmers should also consider local rainfall patterns when applying RECALL. In regions with less rainfall, such as Balochistan, the herbicide will work best if applied to dry soil. Always follow local agricultural guidelines to ensure optimal results.

FAQs:

Q1: How should I apply RECALL for garlic crops?
A1: Apply RECALL as a pre-emergence treatment before the weeds emerge. Follow label instructions for exact dosage.

Q2: How long should I wait before harvesting garlic after applying RECALL?
A2: The pre-harvest interval (PHI) is 90 to 100 days. Avoid harvesting before this period to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Q3: Is RECALL safe for the environment?
A3: Yes, when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, RECALL is safe for the environment. Always follow the safety precautions mentioned on the label.
