Pretilachlor Herbicide Dosage:
Apply JU Pretilachlor Herbicide as a pre-emergence spray at the recommended dose. Timing is critical for good weed control and crop safety.
Crop | Target Weeds | Dose / Acre | Per Litre | Per 15L Pump |
|---|
Transplanted Paddy | Grasses, Sedges, Broadleaves | 500–600 ml | 2.5–3 ml | 37–45 ml |
Direct-Seeded Rice | Grasses, Sedges, Broadleaves | 600 ml | 3 ml | 45 ml |
Water Volume: Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for uniform coverage.
Application Timing: Apply within 3 to 5 days after transplanting (DAT) or 0 to 3 days after sowing (DAS) in DSR — before weeds emerge.
How to Use JU Pretilachlor Herbicide:
Ensure the paddy field has a shallow standing water level of 2 to 3 cm at the time of application.
Wear gloves and a face mask before opening the JU Pretilachlor Herbicide bottle.
Shake the bottle well and measure the required quantity using a marked cup.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.
Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.
Use a flat-fan nozzle for herbicide application — never a hollow-cone insecticide nozzle.
Spray evenly over the transplanted paddy field within 3 to 5 days after transplanting.
Maintain the standing water for 3 to 5 days after JU Pretilachlor Herbicide application for best results.
Alternatively, mix the required dose with dry sand (10 to 15 kg per acre) and broadcast uniformly over the standing water in the field.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply JU Pretilachlor Herbicide as a pre-emergence spray — within 3 to 5 days after transplanting (DAT) in transplanted paddy, or 0 to 3 days after sowing (DAS) in direct-seeded rice. This is the critical window before weed seeds germinate. Early morning or late afternoon is the best window for spraying, when weather is calm, and the herbicide settles evenly on the soil surface.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: Only 1 pre-emergence application per crop cycle — do not repeat the same herbicide in the same season.
Re-Entry Period: Wait 24 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: JU Pretilachlor Herbicide is best used stand-alone. Do NOT tank-mix with insecticides, fungicides, or fertilizers. Use a separate sprayer dedicated for herbicide use to avoid crop damage from residue in the tank.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, face mask, and protective eyewear while handling the product.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.
Spray downwind and keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields.
Wash hands and exposed body parts with soap and water after use.
In case of accidental ingestion, contact a doctor immediately with the product label.
