Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). Add the recommended dosage to water under agitation to form a stable emulsion. Ensure the spray equipment is calibrated.
2. Timing of Application
Apply as a post-emergence spray when weeds are in the early growth stages (2-3 leaf stage) for maximum efficacy. For rice, ensure water is drained before application and re-flooded 24-48 hours later.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Causes eye and skin irritation. Wear protective gear (goggles, gloves, boots). Do not apply when wind speed is high to avoid drift to non-target crops. Toxic to fish—do not contaminate water sources.
