Dharrmix (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Metsulfuron methyl 10% + Chlorimuron ethyl 10% WP is a selective post-emergence herbicide used to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds in transplanted and direct-seeded rice under puddle conditions. It is a pre-mix formulation of metsulfuron methyl and chlorimuron ethyl, two well-established herbicides with different modes of action. This combination provides broad-spectrum weed control and residual activity.

Active Ingredients

  • Metsulfuron methyl: Metsulfuron methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide that inhibits the enzyme Acetolactate Synthase (ALS), which is essential for the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in plants. The disruption of BCAA synthesis leads to plant death.

  • Chlorimuron ethyl: Chlorimuron ethyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide that also inhibits ALS, but it has a different mode of action than metsulfuron methyl. Chlorimuron ethyl binds to a different site on the ALS enzyme, which makes it less susceptible to weed resistance.

Mode of Action

Dharrmix (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Metsulfuron methyl 10% + Chlorimuron ethyl 10% WP is a selective herbicide that is absorbed by the leaves of weeds. Once absorbed, the herbicide is transported throughout the plant, where it inhibits ALS. The disruption of ALS production leads to the accumulation of toxic compounds in the plant, which eventually kills it.

Application Methods

Dharrmix (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Metsulfuron methyl 10% + Chlorimuron ethyl 10% WP is applied as a foliar spray. The herbicide can be applied using a knapsack sprayer, boom sprayer, or aerial applicator.
