Description
Ornate Pre Emergence Herbicide 20WP is a highly effective pre-emergence weed control solution specifically designed for rice crops. Formulated with a powerful combination of Bensulfuron Methyl (45g/kg) and Acetochlor (155g/kg), this herbicide ensures best protection against a wide range of weeds before they have a chance to sprout. Its dual-action formula works synergistically to inhibit weed growth, promoting a cleaner, healthier rice field.
With 300GM of product covering up to 1 acre, Ornate Pre Emergence Herbicide provides excellent value and extensive coverage for large-scale rice farming. Ideal for managing weed pressure, it helps optimize crop yield and maintain the overall health of your rice fields.
How Does Ornate Pre Emergence Herbicide Work?
Ornate Herbicide works as a pre-emergence herbicide, meaning it is applied before weeds germinate and begin to sprout. This is crucial in preventing the weeds from establishing themselves in the first place, which is when they are most problematic.
Bensulfuron Methyl: As a sulfonylurea herbicide, Bensulfuron Methyl acts by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is essential for the synthesis of amino acids and proteins in plants. This disruption halts the growth of the weeds and eventually leads to their death.
Acetochlor: Acetochlor is a chloroacetamide herbicide that works by interfering with the process of cell division in weeds, specifically affecting root development. This leads to the death of the weed before it can even emerge from the soil.
By combining these two active ingredients, Ornate Herbicide offers synergistic effects, meaning the combined formula is more effective at controlling weeds than each ingredient used separately.
Weed Control Spectrum
The Ornate Herbicide targets a wide range of weed species, including but not limited to:
Grass Weeds: Such as barnyard grass, crabgrass, and goosegrass.
Broadleaf Weeds: Including pigweed, lamb’s quarters, and water pennywort.
Sedges: Like yellow nutsedge and purple nutsedge.
This broad-spectrum weed control makes it a versatile solution for rice farmers who are dealing with multiple types of weeds that can compete with their crops for essential resources like nutrients, sunlight, and water.
Advantages Over Other Herbicides
When compared to other herbicides on the market, Ornate Pre Emergence Herbicide offers several advantages:
Dual-Action Formula: The combination of Bensulfuron Methyl and Acetochlor provides superior weed control. While many herbicides only target one aspect of weed growth, Ornate Pre Emergence Herbicide acts on multiple levels, increasing its effectiveness.
Pre-Emergence Effectiveness: Because it is a pre-emergence herbicide, Ornate prevents weeds from sprouting in the first place, reducing the need for follow-up treatments and labor-intensive weed removal.
