SUNRICE HERBICIDE

About product 

• Sunrice Herbicide plays a vital role in maintaining healthy rice crops by managing unwanted weeds. 
• It contains Ethoxysulfuron as an active ingredient which belongs to the sulfonyl urea group of herbicides. When combined with grass herbicide like Rice star as tank mix it can offer total weed control in rice.

Technical Details 

• Technical Content: Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG 
• Mode of Entry: Selective & post - emergent 
• Mode of Action: Ethoxysulfuron is mainly taken up by the leaves and is translocated within the plant. After inhibition of plant growth, chlorotic patches develop and spread at first acropetally, then basipetally. The action of the product reaches its conclusion about 3-4 weeks after application with the death of the whole plant. Ethoxysulfuron acts by inhibition of acetolactate.
