Odyssey is a post-emergent herbicide that offers effective control of a broad spectrum of grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops.1 It contains two active ingredients, Imazethapyr and Imazamox, both belonging to the imidazolinone group of herbicides.2

Key Features and Benefits:

• Broad Spectrum Weed Control: Controls a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, including those resistant to other herbicide classes.3

• Post-Emergent Action: Applied after weeds have emerged, allowing for targeted control.4

• Systemic Activity: Absorbed by both foliage and roots, and translocated throughout the plant to the growing points.5

• Fast Acting: Provides rapid control of susceptible weeds.6

• Rainfastness: Resists wash-off from rain shortly after application.

• Soil Residual Activity: Offers some residual control of germinating weeds.7

Recommended Crops:

• Soybean8

• Groundnut9

• Chickpea (Bengal gram)

• Pigeon pea (Red gram)10

• Other crops as listed on the product label

Targeted Weeds:

• Grasses (e.g., barnyardgrass, crabgrass, foxtail)11

• Broadleaf weeds (e.g., pigweed, lambsquarters, morning glory)12

Application:

• Post-emergence foliar spray13

• Apply when weeds are young and actively growing14

• Ensure thorough coverage of weed foliage15

• Use the recommended dosage and application method as specified on the product label

Mode of Action:

Odyssey works by inhibiting Acetolactate Synthase (ALS), a key enzyme involved in the production of essential amino acids in plants.16 This inhibition disrupts protein synthesis and leads to the death of susceptible weeds.17

Safety Precautions:

• Wear appropriate protective clothing when handling and applying the product.

• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

• Do not inhale the spray mist.

• Keep out of reach of children and animals.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
