Fastest (Anu Products Limited) (Butachlor 50% EW) is a selective pre-emergence herbicide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is an emulsifiable water (EW) formulation containing 50% butachlor, a potent chloroacetanilide herbicide with rapid residual activity.
Mode of Action: Butachlor inhibits cell division in roots and meristematic tissues of susceptible plants, preventing root growth and ultimately leading to plant death.
Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Fastest varies depending on the crop, soil type, and water management system. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 2-3 liters per hectare. Fastest should be applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, either before planting or immediately after planting but before weeds emerge. It can be applied as a broadcast application to the soil surface or as a directed spray to the base of weeds.
