Product Overview:

Ricestar is a selective post-emergent grass herbicide containing Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 69 EC (6.7% w/w). It targets barnyard grasses in paddy, giving weed control with high crop safety. It allows flexibility in timing (3-5 leaf stage of weeds), and can be tank-mixed with broadleaf/sedge herbicides (like Sunrice) for more complete weed control.

Summary:

Benefits:

• Effective control of grass weeds - especially Echinochloa species (“barnyard grass”) that compete heavily with rice.
• High crop safety - safe to the rice crop when used at the recommended dose and timing.
• Flexible application window - works well when the weeds are at the 3-5 leaf stage, which gives a practical window for spraying.
• Good compatibility with other herbicides - can be mixed (tank-mix) with broadleaf or sedge herbicides like Sunrice for more complete weed control.
• Reduces manual weeding / labour cost - by efficiently cutting down weed pressure, it saves time and effort.
• Long-lasting suppression of grassy weeds once applied correctly - weeds die off visibly in days, and total control can continue for some time after.
