Product Introduction

Penoxsulam is a systemic post-emergence herbicide specially designed for rice cultivation. It effectively controls a wide range of grass, sedge, and broadleaf weeds while being safe for rice plants. Its high efficacy and low application rate make it a cost-effective solution for modern rice farming.

Mode of Action

• Penoxsulam works by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme essential for synthesizing certain amino acids in plants.

• Disruption of amino acid synthesis prevents weed growth and leads to gradual plant death.

• It is absorbed by leaves and roots, then moves throughout the weed to act on growing points.

• Best applied to young, actively growing weeds for maximum effectiveness.

Product Advantages

✔ Broad-spectrum weed control – effective against grass weeds, sedges, and many broadleaf species

✔ Low application rate – highly potent, reducing cost and chemical usage

✔ Safe for rice crops – minimal phytotoxicity when used according to recommendations

✔ Flexible application – suitable for post-emergence sprays in various rice-growing systems

✔ Residual weed suppression – helps prevent regrowth and maintains clean fields for several weeks

Precautions

• Apply only to actively growing weeds.

• Avoid spraying under drought or crop stress conditions.

• Prevent drift to adjacent sensitive crops or water bodies.

• Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Follow local regulations and crop-specific instructions strictly.
