Products Details

• Ready Mix is a pre-emergence herbicide used to control weeds in transplanted rice. It effectively manages a range of weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broad leaved weeds. The combination of bensulfuron methyl and pretilachlor provides broad-spectrum weed control in rice fields.

Benefits:

• Bensulfuron – Methyl inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is essential for cell division in weeds, thus preventing their growth.
• Pretilachlor- It acts as a cell division inhibitor, interfering with the growth of young weed seedlings.
• Pre-emergence application: The herbicide is applied before the rice seedlings emerge from the soil, providing a head start for the rice plants and preventing weed competition.
• Broad-spectrum control: It effectively controls a wide variety of weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, that are commonly found in rice fields.
• Easy application: The granular formulation allows for easy hand broad cast in the puddled rice fields.
• Safety for rice: The herbicide is non-phytotoxic to rice and does not harm the crop when used as directed.
• Increased yield: Studies have shown that using this herbicide combination can result in higher grain yields compared to hand weeding.

Application:

• Apply the herbicide at the recommended dosage (e.g., 4 Kg per acre) within 8 days after transplanting, if mixed weed populations are present.
• Mix the granular herbicide with a suitable quantity of sand and broadcast it uniformly in the field.
