Bentazone 480g/l SL

Mode of Action

Bentazone acts as a photosynthesis inhibitor (PSII – Photosystem II), disrupting the electron transport chain in susceptible plants. After foliar uptake, it causes rapid membrane damage and necrosis in sensitive tissues, particularly broadleaf weeds and sedges.

It translocates acropetally via the xylem, providing reliable contact action without systemic accumulation—making it suitable for sensitive crop environments.

Target Weeds & Application Spectrum

Bentazone is effective against a wide range of dicotyledonous weeds and sedges:

• Broadleaf Weeds: Stellaria media, Galium aparine, Lapsana communis, Matricaria spp., Amaranthus spp., Chenopodium spp.

• Sedges: Cyperus difformis, Cyperus esculentus, Cyperus serotinus, Scirpus maritimus, Scirpus mucronatus

• Other Aquatic/Weedy Species: Monochoria vaginalis, Sagittaria pygmaea, Alisma spp., Commelina spp.

Recommended crops and field types:

• Soybeans, peanuts, potatoes

• Paddy rice fields (transplanted or direct-seeded)

• Peas, beans, maize in specific regional programs

Application Methods & Recommended Dosage

Apply Bentazone 480 g/L SL as a foliar spray using ground equipment. Coverage of weed leaf surface is critical for efficacy.

• Apply when weeds are actively growing

• Do not apply under drought or high-temperature stress

• Use clean water for tank preparation

Benefits & Technical Highlights

• Selective Control: Safe for major crops like soybeans, rice, and peanuts

• Fast Action: Visible chlorosis and necrosis within 2–4 days

• Low Residue: Minimal soil activity, no carryover risk to subsequent crops

• Aquatic & Sedges Coverage: Targets both broadleaf and Cyperus species

• Flexible Application Window: Suitable for various post-emergent growth stages

Rainfastness & Environmental Profile

• Rainfast within 4–6 hours post-application

• Rapid degradation in soil and water under aerobic conditions

• No bioaccumulation or long-term environmental persistence

• Compatible with rotational crops under normal agricultural practices

Avoid spraying near sensitive aquatic ecosystems unless permitted by local regulation.

Tank Mix Compatibility & IWM Role

Bentazone 480 g/L SL is compatible with many other herbicides used in rice, soybean, and legume production, including:

• Atrazine for extended residual effect

• Halosulfuron-methyl for enhanced sedge control

• Surfactants for improved leaf coverage

It fits well into Integrated Weed Management (IWM) programs, especially in areas with herbicide resistance or high weed pressure.
