- Echinochloa colona
- Cyperus difformis
- Fimbristylis miliacea
- Monochoria vaginalis
- Ludwigia spp.
- Annual grasses, sedges, and selected broadleaf weeds
Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage & Method of Application |
|---|---|---|
| Transplanted Rice | Annual grasses, sedges & selected broadleaf weeds | Apply uniformly as a granular pre-emergence treatment at 3–7 days after transplanting on standing water or moist soil, as per the recommended label dosage.

For specific kg/ha granular dosage rates and local water management protocols across paddy fields, please refer to the registered product label or consult local agricultural extension specialists.
Application Instructions
1. Broadcast Timing (3–7 Days Post-Transplanting)
Apply uniformly as a pre-emergence granular treatment between 3 and 7 days after transplanting rice when weed seeds are germinating.
2. Water Management for Optimal Activation
Broadcast over standing water or moist soil. Maintain a shallow standing water layer (3–5 cm) for several days post-application to ensure proper distribution and activation of the herbicide barrier.
