Uses Used pre-emergence for the control of annual grasses and certainbroad-leaved weeds in rice, both seeded and transplanted. It shows selectivityin barley, cotton, peanuts, sugar beet, wheat and several brassica crops. Effective rates range from 1.0-4.5 kg/ha. Activity is dependent on wateravailability such as rainfall following treatment, overhead irrigation orapplications to standing water as in rice culture.

Target weed and rate.
Crop | Weed | Rate | Method of Application |
Direct-seeded rice | Annual grass weeds and some broad-leaved weeds | 1000-1500ml/ha. | Post-seeding but pre-emergence spay onto soil |
Transplanted rice | Annual grass weeds and some broad-leaved weeds | 1000-1500ml/ha. | Mix with clay and cast the clay in paddy field. |
