Product Introduction
This product is a selective systemic herbicide, which can effectively control annual broad-leaved weeds and sedge weeds in rice transplanted fields. The active ingredients can be quickly diffused in the water, absorbed by the roots and leaves of the weeds and then transferred to all parts of the weeds, preventing the growth. When the active ingredients enter the rice body, they are rapidly metabolized into harmless inert chemicals, which are safe for rice. It has little mobility in the soil, and the temperature and soil quality have little effect on its weeding effect.

Advanced Weed Management for Transplanted Rice with Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP
If you're searching for a highly effective and crop-safe herbicide to control weeds in rice cultivation, POMAIS Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP offers a precision solution trusted by growers across Asia, Africa, and other rice-producing regions. Specifically formulated as a wettable powder herbicide, this product targets annual broadleaf weeds and sedges that commonly infest transplanted paddy fields. Its active ingredient, bensulfuron-methyl, delivers powerful systemic weed control while remaining selective and non-toxic to rice crops. Applied post-emergence, it is rapidly absorbed through both leaves and roots of target weeds and translocated throughout their vascular system. The result is complete growth arrest and death of weeds, ensuring clean paddies, better seedling establishment, and higher rice yields. POMAIS Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP is particularly effective in flooded rice environments, where its soil stability and suspension characteristics outperform many alternatives. For agricultural distributors, importers, and government tenders seeking reliable rice herbicides with proven field efficacy, this formulation provides not only performance but also flexibility through OEM branding, multilingual packaging, and global documentation support. Whether your focus is sedge control, broadleaf weed suppression, or overall paddy field management, POMAIS Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP is the herbicide solution designed to meet your professional crop protection standards.
Mode of Action
Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP operates through a highly targeted biochemical mechanism that distinguishes it from non-selective herbicides. As a member of the sulfonylurea herbicide class, its mode of action centers on inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is crucial for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids—specifically valine, leucine, and isoleucine. These amino acids are vital for protein synthesis and cell division in plants. When the ALS enzyme is blocked, susceptible weed species experience an immediate interruption of their growth processes.
After application, bensulfuron-methyl is systemically absorbed through both the roots and foliage of target weeds. This dual-entry pathway ensures comprehensive internal distribution of the active ingredient throughout the plant, including the meristematic tissues responsible for new growth. Within 5 to 10 days, visible symptoms begin to manifest: chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), halted shoot elongation, root tip necrosis, and eventual plant death. Importantly, rice plants possess the metabolic capacity to quickly detoxify bensulfuron-methyl, converting it into harmless compounds, which guarantees excellent crop selectivity when used according to recommended practices.
This highly efficient and selective action makes POMAIS Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP an ideal tool for post-emergence weed control in transplanted rice fields, particularly against hard-to-manage sedges and broadleaf species. Furthermore, the active ingredient demonstrates strong soil binding ability, reducing the risk of leaching into groundwater and ensuring prolonged activity in diverse soil conditions. For growers and distributors focused on sustainable rice herbicide programs, this product delivers precise weed suppression without compromising crop safety or environmental standards.
This disruption leads to immediate growth arrest in weeds:
-
Systemic Absorption: Taken up via roots and leaves, ensuring complete plant coverage
-
Tissue Disruption: Visible symptoms include chlorosis, leaf tip burn, and root necrosis within 5–10 days
-
High Selectivity: Rice plants quickly metabolize the active ingredient into harmless compounds, making it safe when used as directed
-
Stable in Soil: The herbicide binds to soil particles, minimizing leaching and maximizing field longevity
This dual-absorption pathway combined with its high selectivity makes Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP one of the most trusted tools for rice field weed control.
Recommended Application and Dosage
POMAIS Bensulfuron-Methyl 10% WP is specifically formulated for transplanted rice cultivation, where broadleaf weeds and sedges such as Monochoria vaginalis, Eclipta alba, and Cyperus difformis are prevalent threats. These weeds aggressively compete with rice seedlings for nutrients, light, and water—reducing yields and complicating harvests if not properly managed. This herbicide addresses those challenges by offering targeted, post-emergent control when weeds are at their most vulnerable.
The recommended use rate ranges between 320 to 480 grams per hectare, applied through soil surface incorporation. This rate ensures high efficacy while maintaining safety for rice plants. For best results, the herbicide should be applied shortly after transplanting rice seedlings—typically when weeds are in their 2–4 leaf stage, which maximizes the product’s systemic absorption and impact.
This wettable powder disperses easily in water and is especially suited for flooded rice paddies. When applied in these waterlogged conditions, the formulation remains suspended and evenly distributed, ensuring consistent weed contact. The product is taken up both via leaf absorption and root uptake, effectively disrupting weed growth regardless of which pathway is more active.
| Crop | Target Weed Type | Recommended Dosage (g/ha) | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice Field | Annual Broadleaf Weeds | 320–480 | Soil incorporation |
| Rice Field | Sedges (Cyperaceae family) | 320–480 | Soil incorporation |
