Active Ingredients:
Penoxsulam: 2.5%
Cyhalofop-butyl: 4%
Formulation Type: Oil Dispersion (OD)
Mechanism of Action
◆ Penoxsulam: Penoxsulam is an ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor, which disrupts the synthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids in susceptible plants, leading to the inhibition of cell division and growth. This ultimately causes the death of the weed.
◆ Cyhalofop-butyl: Cyhalofop-butyl is an ACCase (Acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor, which interferes with lipid biosynthesis, preventing the formation of essential cell membrane components in grassy weeds. It selectively targets grass weeds while being safe for rice.
Features
Application:
Dosage: Typically applied at a rate of 0.8-1.0 liters per hectare, depending on the weed type and infestation levels.
Timing: Best applied post-emergence when weeds are in the early growth stage (2-3 leaf stage) for optimal control.
Advantages
This herbicide combination is an excellent choice for rice farmers looking to manage complex weed infestations effectively while ensuring crop safety and maintaining yields.
