Jitsu (Imazapyr 8% WP) is a selective 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 EPSPS, which is essential for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants. This leads to the death of the plant.

Key Features:

• Selective: Jitsu is a selective herbicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of weeds without harming paddy (rice) plants.
• Post-emergence activity: Jitsu is a post-emergence herbicide, which means that it kills weeds after they have emerged from the soil. This gives growers more flexibility in their weed management programs.
• Broad-spectrum efficacy: Jitsu is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses, including both annuals and perennials.
• Translaminar activity: Jitsu has translaminar activity, which means that it can penetrate plant leaves and control weeds that are difficult to reach with other herbicides.
• Rainfastness: Jitsu 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): Jitsu is an effective herbicide for controlling a wide range of weeds in paddy (rice).
• Provides long-lasting control of weeds: Jitsu's translaminar activity and long-lasting residual activity provide long-lasting control of weeds, reducing the need for repeat applications.
• Is safe for paddy (rice) plants: Jitsu 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:

Jitsu 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 Jitsu:

• Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, during application.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling the product.
