Product Information
Mode of Action
Epronaz inhibits cell division and early seedling growth in susceptible weeds. By preventing cell division, it halts shoot and root development, delivering effective control during the initial stages of weed emergence in rice crops.
Target Weeds
- Echinochloa crus-galli (Barnyardgrass)
- Echinochloa colona (Jungle Rice)
- Cyperus difformis

Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage & Method of Application |
|---|---|---|
| Rice (Direct-Seeded & Transplanted) | Annual grasses, sedges & selected broadleaf weeds | Apply as an early post-emergence spray when weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage, using the recommended label dosage.

For specific L/ha or ml/ha dosage rates and local water volume recommendations across direct-seeded and transplanted rice, please refer to the registered product label or consult local agricultural extension specialists.
Application Instructions
1. Early Post-Emergence Timing (2–4 Leaf Stage)
Apply as an early post-emergence foliar spray when targeted annual grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds are actively growing in the 2–4 leaf stage to ensure effective early weed suppression.
2. Uniform Spray Coverage & Field Moisture
Ensure uniform spray coverage across the paddy field using calibrated spraying equipment. Maintain optimal field soil moisture prior to and following application to maximize herbicide activity.
Safety & Environmental Care
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, face mask, protective suit) during handling, mixing, and application. Avoid spray drift onto non-target crops and nearby water bodies. Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from food, drink, and animal feed.
