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.
