Daichi (Quizalofop ethyl 10% EC) is a post-emergence herbicide from Ichiban Crop Science that is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses in paddy (rice). It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which is essential for the synthesis of fatty acids in plants. This leads to the death of the plant.

Key Features:

• Broad-spectrum efficacy: Daichi is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses, including both annuals and perennials.
• Systemic activity: Daichi is a systemic herbicide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout the plant, providing long-lasting control of weeds.
• Translaminar activity: Daichi has translaminar activity, which means that it can penetrate plant leaves and control weeds that are difficult to reach with other herbicides.
• Rainfastness: Daichi is rainfast within 1 hour of application, ensuring that it remains effective even if it rains.

Benefits:

• Controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses in paddy (rice): Daichi is an effective herbicide for controlling a wide range of weeds in paddy (rice).
• Provides long-lasting control of weeds: Daichi's systemic activity and long-lasting residual activity provide long-lasting control of weeds, reducing the need for repeat applications.
• Is safe for paddy (rice) plants: Daichi is selective to paddy (rice) plants, so it can be used safely in these crops.
• Is relatively safe for the environment, with low toxicity to fish, birds, and other non-target organisms.

Application:

Daichi should be applied as a foliar spray to weeds after they have emerged from the soil. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions and dosage recommendations for each weed species.

Safety Precautions:

As with any herbicide, it is important to follow safety precautions when using Daichi:

• Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, during application.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling the product.
• Keep Daichi out of reach of children and pets.

Environmental Considerations:

Daichi is classified as a moderately hazardous herbicide. To minimize environmental impact, follow proper disposal procedures for empty containers and unused product. Avoid contamination of water sources.

Storage:

Store Daichi in its original container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
