Crystal Sunrice Herbicide is a selective post-emergence herbicide from Crystal Crop Protection Limited that is used to control weeds in transplanted paddy and sugarcane. Crystal Sunrice Herbicide stops the production of amino acids and interrupts the weed growth process. It is especially effective against sedges and selected broadleaf weeds that compete with the main crop for nutrients, water, sunlight, and growing space.
Key Features and Benefits of Sunrice Herbicide:
Effective Sedge Control: Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG provides effective control of sedges and broadleaf weeds through systemic action.
Post-Emergence Action: Crystal Sunrice Herbicide can be applied after weeds emerge, allowing farmers to target actively growing weeds.
Low-Dose Herbicide: Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG works effectively at a comparatively low quantity per acre, making it cost-effective to use.
Healthy Growth: Sunrice Herbicide helps reduce competition for nutrients, moisture, and sunlight, promoting healthy crop growth.
Sunrice Herbicide Uses
Sedges: Fimbristylis miliacea, Cyperus difformis, Cyperus iria, Scirpus spp., Cyperus rotundus
Broadleaves: Eclipta alba, Monochoria vaginalis, Marsilea quadrifolia, Ammannia baccifera
Recommended For: Transplanted Paddy and Sugarcane
Sunrice Herbicide Dosage:
Apply Sunrice Herbicide as a post-emergence spray at the recommended weed stage and ensure uniform coverage of actively growing weeds.
Crop | Target Weeds | Dose / Acre | Per Litre | Per 15L Pump | PHI |
Transplanted Paddy | Sedges and broadleaf weeds | 40 g | 0.2 g | 3 g | 110 days |
Sugarcane | Cyperus rotundus | 160 g | 0.8 g | 12 g | 205 days |
General Dose: Crystal Sunrice Herbicide is recommended at 40 g per acre in transplanted paddy and 160 g per acre in sugarcane.
How to Use Crystal Sunrice Herbicide:
Check the field and identify the target weeds before application.
Measure the required quantity of Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG according to the crop.
Mix the measured herbicide separately with a small quantity of clean water.
Fill the spray tank partly with water and add the prepared mixture.
Add the remaining water while stirring thoroughly.
Spray Crystal Sunrice Herbicide uniformly over actively growing weeds.
Avoid overlapping spray passes or applying more than the recommended dose.
Best Time to Apply:
For transplanted paddy, apply Sunrice Herbicide around 5 to 10 days after transplanting according to the manufacturer's recommendation. For sugarcane, use Crystal Sunrice Herbicide when Cyperus rotundus reaches approximately the 3 to 4 leaf stage. Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG performs best on actively growing young weeds. Avoid spraying during strong wind or when immediate rainfall is expected.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Use Sunrice Herbicide according to the recommended crop and weed stage. Avoid unnecessary repeat applications.
Re-Entry Period: Allow the treated crop and field vegetation to dry before workers enter the sprayed area.
Compatibility: Crystal Sunrice Herbicide should not be mixed with other herbicides, fertilizers, or crop-protection products unless compatibility and crop safety are confirmed.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, a mask, protective eyewear, full-sleeve clothing, and closed footwear during mixing and spraying.
Avoid direct contact with Ethoxysulfuron 15% WDG on the skin or in the eyes.
Do not inhale dust or spray mist during preparation and application.
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew while handling Sunrice Herbicide.
Apply only the recommended crop-specific quantity.
