Elias - Flurochloridone 18.3% w/w CS - ADAMA

ADAMA Elias Pre-Emergence Herbicide Overview

ADAMA Elias contains Flurochloridone 18.3% w/w CS. Its capsule-suspension formulation forms a residual layer in moist soil and controls susceptible grassy and broadleaf weeds as they emerge in potato, carrot and sunflower.

Use note: The current accessible registration evidence confirms the crop–weed pairs but does not provide a reliable product dose. Use only the exact Elias pack rate and water volume; do not substitute a retailer or other-formulation rate.

Key Product Benefits

• Pre-emergence residual activity: Controls susceptible weeds as seedlings emerge through the treated soil layer.
• Capsule-suspension formulation: Designed to provide controlled release after moisture activation.
• Grass and broadleaf spectrum: Labelled weeds vary across potato, carrot and sunflower.
• Group 12 mode of action: Inhibits phytoene desaturase and pigment formation in susceptible weeds.
• Store options: 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 L variants.

Technical Specifications

How Elias Works

After moisture activates the capsule layer, emerging susceptible weeds absorb flurochloridone. Inhibition of phytoene desaturase prevents protective carotenoid pigment formation, causing young tissues to bleach, stop growing and die.

Dose, water volume and PHI: Follow the exact current Elias pack; these values are intentionally not guessed from retailer pages or another flurochloridone product.

Application Guide

• Prepare a fine, firm seedbed and apply evenly before weed emergence at the crop timing printed on the pack.
• Use the exact label rate and calibrated water volume; maintain agitation during application.
• Adequate moisture activates the capsule layer. Avoid unnecessary soil disturbance after treatment.
• Prevent overlapping passes, drift and movement of treated soil onto adjacent crops.

Safety and Stewardship

• Use only in potato, carrot and sunflower for the listed weeds.
• Registration documentation identifies high aquatic toxicity; keep spray, runoff and wash water away from water and aquaculture.
• Wear label-specified protective equipment and avoid spray contact or inhalation.
• Observe all crop-rotation, soil and harvest restrictions printed on the current pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is no numerical dose shown?
An authoritative accessible Elias dose was not found, so the current stocked pack must be used rather than an unverified online value.

When is Elias applied?
It is a pre-emergence herbicide applied to prepared soil before labelled weeds emerge.

Which crops are verified?
Potato, carrot and sunflower are supported by the current registration evidence.
