Specifications
- RiSING STAR is a selective post-emergent herbicide recommended for the control of grassy weeds, especiallyEchinochloaspp. in direct seeded and transplanted rice. It contains Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl as active ingredient which offers flexibility in application window. When combined as tank-mix with broad leaf herbicide like Sunrice it can offer total control of rice weed spectrum.
Mode of Action
- Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is absorbed by leaves and stems of the plants and is translocated systemically. It predominantly inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in the meristem tissue of grassy weeds.
- Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) Classification Group A
Advantages
- Effective grass control - wide range of grasses controlled
- Excellent plant selectivity - safe to crops at recommended dosages
- Flexibility in application time - 3-5 leaf stages, used as Early Post Emergent herbicide
- Excellent combining ability with Early Post Emergent Broadleaf / Sedge controlling rice herbicides (i.e. Sunrice)
Recommendations for Use
Rising Star is to be applied at 20-25 days after sowing or transplanting when weeds are in 3–5 leaf stage
Knapsack sprayer fitted with flat fan nozzle is recommended
