Chemical Control

In SRI, mechanical weeding is highly recommended, and chemical measures should be used only as last resort

For early grassy weeds and sedges:

  •       Spray Chlorimuron-ethyl+ Metsulfuron-methyl @ 8 g a.i./ha at 7-10 days after transplanting, OR

  •       Spray Penoxsulam @ 25 g a.i./ha at 10-12 days after transplanting, OR

  •      Spray Bispyribac sodium @ 30 g/ha at 8-10 DAE (two-three leaf stage of weeds), OR

  •       Spray Bensulfuron Methyl + Pretilachlor @ 750 g a.i./ha at 10 DAT ( or two-three leaf stage of weeds)
