Product Features

  • CREEPNIX is a new selective early post emergence herbicide, with broad spectrum activity which gives complete and early control of selected grasses and broadleaf weeds.
  • CREEPNIX belongs to the s-triazines chemical group which inhibits Photosynthetic reaction in weeds.
  • CREEPNIX has both foliar and soil activity. By this it kills the existing weeds it also stops new emergence from weed seeds.
  • CREEPNIX can be easily mixed with 2-4-D to get better results on broad leaf weeds.
  • CREEPNIX shall be applied when Sugarcane weeds are at 2-4 leaf stage. It provides longer duration of weed control. It protects Sugarcane from early slow growth of Sugarcane tillers from weed competition.

Time of application

  • It inhibits photosynthesis by targeting the photosystem II (PSII) complex in plant cells. It binds to the D1 protein in PSII, disrupting the electron transport chain and preventing ATP and NADPH formation. This halts the Calvin cycle, depleting the plant’s energy and essential carbohydrate production. Additionally, it leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative damage to cellular components. The combined effects result in cellular dysfunction and ultimately the death of the weed.

Mode of Action

  • It acts by inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase in plants. This enzyme is essential for converting glutamate and ammonia into glutamine, a vital amino acid. By blocking glutamine synthetase, glufosinate ammonium disrupts ammonia detoxification and amino acid synthesis, leading to the accumulation of toxic levels of ammonia within plant cells. This buildup interferes with cellular metabolism and disrupts cell membrane integrity, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leading to plant death. Additionally, the herbicide indirectly affects photosynthesis by disrupting nitrogen metabolism and energy production in chloroplasts.
