Grassy weeds can significantly limit the yield of rice farmers and reduce their income. Traditional weed control chemicals harm the crop and soil, forcing farmers to manually weed their fields, increasing time and labour costs. Bayer’s Ricestar helps farmers safely and effectively eliminate weeds from paddy fields.
Ricestar is one of the best grass herbicides for paddy fields, protecting against late emergent weeds such as Echinochloa sp. (barnyard grass). The grass herbicide also offers flexibility in the application window and high crop safety, providing farmers with exceptional weed control in paddy.
Ricestar is a selective post-emergent herbicide designed to target grassy weeds, specifically Echinochloa sp. When applied after weeds have emerged, Ricestar disrupts their growth. The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and stems and moves throughout the plant.
Mixing it with a broadleaf herbicide like Sunrice in a tank increases its effectiveness and provides complete weed control in your rice fields.
The active ingredient in Ricestar herbicide is fenoxaprop-p-ethyl. Once absorbed by the leaves and stems of grassy weeds, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl interferes with the creation of fatty acids in the actively growing parts, disrupting the normal development of the weeds.
This disruption hampers the weed’s ability to grow and stay alive.
Some of the benefits include
Grass control: Effectively targets various grass types.
Plant-friendly: Safe for crops at recommended doses.
Flexibility in application time: 3-5 leaf stages, used as early post emergent herbicide.
Effective combination: Works well with early post-emergent herbicides like Sunrice for broadleaf/sedge control.
Apply Ricestar 20-25 days after sowing or transplanting when weeds are in the 3-5 leaf stage.
Use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a flat fan nozzle.
