HOBBIT H2O is a selective, pre-emergent herbicide from Ichiban Crop Science that is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses in rice. It is a water-soluble formulation, which makes it easy to mix and apply. HOBBIT H2O works by inhibiting the enzyme ACCase, which is essential for the synthesis of very long-chain fatty acids in plants. This leads to the death of the plant.
Key Features:
- Selective: HOBBIT H2O is a selective herbicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of weeds without harming rice plants.
- Pre-emergent activity: HOBBIT H2O is a pre-emergent herbicide, which means that it kills weeds before they have emerged from the soil. This helps to prevent weeds from competing with rice plants for water and nutrients.
- Broad-spectrum efficacy: HOBBIT H2O is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses, including both annuals and perennials.
- Translaminar activity: HOBBIT H2O has translaminar activity, which means that it can penetrate plant leaves and control weeds that are difficult to reach with other herbicides.
- Rainfastness: HOBBIT H2O 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 rice: HOBBIT H2O is an effective herbicide for controlling a wide range of weeds in rice.
- Provides long-lasting control of weeds: HOBBIT H2O's translaminar activity and long-lasting residual activity provide long-lasting control of weeds, reducing the need for repeat applications.
- Is safe for rice plants: HOBBIT H2O is selective to rice plants, so it can be used safely in rice crops.
- Is relatively safe for the environment, with low toxicity to fish, birds, and other non-target organisms.
Application:
HOBBIT H2O should be applied as a foliar spray to the soil surface before weeds emerge. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions and dosage recommendations for each weed species.
