General Information:

  • Trade name: Ricestar
  • Active ingredient: Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (6.9%)
  • Herbicide class: Selective post-emergence herbicide

Mode of Action:

Ricestar is a selective post-emergence herbicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids in plants. Fatty acids are essential components of plant cell membranes, and without them, the plant cannot grow and reproduce.

Application:

Ricestar can be applied to direct-seeded and transplanted rice crops. It is typically applied at a rate of 1 to 1.5 liters per hectare. Ricestar can be applied using a variety of application methods, including ground spraying, aerial spraying, and chemigation.

Precautions:

  • Ricestar is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply Ricestar to areas where it may run off into water bodies.
  • Ricestar can be harmful to non-target plants. Avoid applying Ricestar to areas where non-target plants are growing.
  • Ricestar is a residual herbicide, so it can persist in the soil for several weeks. Do not plant crops that are sensitive to Ricestar within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Ricestar herbicide to ensure safe and effective use.

Additional Information:

  • Ricestar is a broad-spectrum herbicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of grassy weeds, including sprangletop, barnyardgrass, broadleaf signalgrass, fall panicum, and more.
  • Ricestar is a systemic herbicide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant and translocated to the growing points. This makes it very effective at controlling weeds.
  • Ricestar is a versatile herbicide that can be used in a variety of rice production systems. It is also relatively inexpensive, making it a popular choice for farmers.

Ricestar is a valuable tool for farmers who need to control grassy weeds in rice crops. It is important to use Ricestar according to the label directions to ensure safe and effective use.
