Tornado is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence herbicide that combines two different chemicals — Quizalofop ethyl and Imazethapyr — in an emulsifiable concentrate formulation. It effectively controls both broad leaf and grassy weeds in groundnut and soybean crops, offering fast action, longer weed control, and safety to the standing crop at recommended dose.
Features & Benefits
- Tornado is a combination of two different chemicals (Quizalofop ethyl and Imazethapyr) in Emulsifiable Concentrate formulation
- Tornado has a dual mode of action — Quizalofop ethyl inhibits Acetyl CoA Carboxylase, while Imazethapyr inhibits Acetolactate Synthase
- Tornado is absorbed by the roots and foliage with translocation via xylem and phloem accumulation in the meristematic regions
- Tornado is a broad-spectrum post-emergence herbicide which effectively controls broad leaf and grassy weeds
- Tornado is a systemic herbicide absorbed by the root system and foliage, giving longer weed control and safety for subsequent crops
- Tornado is safe to groundnut and soybean crops at recommended dose
- Tornado has good rain fastness — it requires only 1–2 hours of rain-free period for complete absorption into the plant system
- Tornado has fast action on weeds and is very easy to use
- For effective control, Tornado should be applied at the 2–3 leaf stage of weeds
Mode of Action
Tornado works through a dual mode of action. Quizalofop ethyl inhibits the enzyme Acetyl CoA Carboxylase, disrupting fatty acid synthesis in grassy weeds. Imazethapyr inhibits Acetolactate Synthase (ALS), blocking the production of essential amino acids in broad leaf weeds. Tornado is absorbed by both the roots and foliage, translocating through the xylem and phloem to accumulate in the meristematic regions, where it disrupts protein and DNA synthesis, leading to weed death.
