Sunrice®

Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG
Sunrice

Sunrice is a post-emergent broad spectrum herbicide very effective for the control of sedges and broad leaf weeds in transplanted rice. Sunrice contains Ethoxysulfuron as active ingredient which belongs to sulfonyl urea group of herbicides. When combined with grass herbicide like Ricestar as tankmix it can offer total weed control in rice.

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 the acetolactate.
