Considerations:
- Consult with a qualified agronomist or agricultural advisor to determine the most suitable weed control program for your specific rice variety and local weed pressure.
- Practice integrated pest management (IPM) techniques for a holistic approach to weed control in your rice crops. This may include cultural practices, such as crop rotation, along with other herbicides with different modes of action to prevent weed resistance.
