Chemical Control
For early grassy weeds and sedges:
- Spray Bispyribac sodium @ 30 g a.i./ha at 8-10 DAE (two-three leaf stage of weeds), OR
- Spray Penoxsulam @ 25 g a.i./ha at 10-12 days after transplanting, OR
- Spray Chlorimuron-ethyl + metsulfuron-methyl @ 4 g a.i./ha at 7-10 days after transplanting, OR
- Spray Bensulfuron Methyl + Pretilachlor @ 750 g a.i./ha at 10 DAT (or two-three leaf stage of weeds), OR
- Sometimes, the efficacy of herbicides is reduced because of the continuous rain or dry spell following their application. If there are new flashes of grassy weeds, spray fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (60 ga.i./ha) at 25-28 DAE (3-4 leaf stage of weeds), or apply Cyhalofop butyl @ 100 g a.i./ha (Late post-emergence).
