Item description
Parijat Creepnix Herbicide Overview
Parijat Creepnix is a selective early post-emergence herbicide formulated with Ametryn 80% WG. Parijat lists it for control of specified grassy and broadleaf weeds in sugarcane. It has both foliar and soil activity, helping control emerged weeds while also suppressing new emergence when used according to the current label.
Use note: Creepnix is registered for the exact sugarcane weeds and directions shown on the current Indian label. Do not use it on another crop or improvise a tank mix, rate or per-litre conversion.
Why Choose Creepnix?
- Selective early post-emergence use: Designed for application when labelled sugarcane weeds are actively growing.
- Grass and broadleaf spectrum: The Indian major-use listing names five specific weed species.
- Foliar and soil activity: Parijat describes control of existing weeds together with suppression of new emergence.
- Water-dispersible granules: Supplied as an 80% WG formulation for measured dilution and spray application.
- Pack-size choice: This store listing offers 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg variants.

How Creepnix Works
Ametryn is a Group 5 photosystem II inhibitor. It interrupts electron transport in susceptible plants, stopping the production of energy needed for normal growth. Because Creepnix has foliar and soil activity, correct timing, soil condition and uniform application are important.
- Foliar uptake: Actively growing labelled weeds take up the spray.
- Soil activity: Label-compliant application can help suppress subsequent emergence.
- Photosynthesis disruption: Susceptible weeds decline after photosystem II electron transport is blocked.
India Label: Crop, Weeds and Application Rate
| Crop | Label-listed weeds | Formulation dose | Water | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | Digitaria sanguinalis, Cynodon dactylon, Trianthema monogyna, Ageratum conyzoides and Dactyloctenium aegyptium | 2.5 kg/ha | 500 L/ha | 311 days |
The Government of India major-use listing records 2.0 kg active ingredient/ha, equivalent to 2.5 kg formulation/ha, in 500 L water with a 311-day pre-harvest interval. The current physical label supplied with the product remains the final authority.
How to Apply Creepnix
- Apply only to the labelled sugarcane use when weeds are actively growing and at the stage printed on the current label; Parijat describes application around the 2–4 leaf weed stage.
- Add the measured product to a small quantity of water and stir thoroughly, then add the remaining required water while maintaining agitation.
- Apply the solution evenly with suitable calibrated equipment and a flat-fan nozzle.
- Avoid spraying when rain is expected within 6–8 hours.
- Prevent spray drift or runoff onto non-target crops, desirable vegetation and water bodies.
- Do not derive a universal tank dose from the hectare rate; maintain the labelled product-to-water ratio and treated area.
