Product Description

Sahib Rice Gold is a selective post-emergence herbicide that controls a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses in rice fields. It contains 71% metsulfuron methyl as its active ingredient and is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation. It is easy to mix with water and can be applied to rice fields as a foliar spray.

Mode of Action

Sahib Rice Gold is absorbed through the leaves and shoots of target weeds and translocates throughout the plant. It disrupts the plant's cell division and growth processes, leading to the death of the treated weeds.

Application Instructions

Sahib Rice Gold should be applied as a foliar spray to actively growing weeds during the post-emergence stage of rice development. The amount of herbicide that you need to use will depend on the type of weeds you are targeting, the severity of the weed infestation, and the growth stage of your rice crop. It is recommended to apply Sahib Rice Gold 20-25 days after transplanting (DAT) or 30-40 days after direct seeding (DAS).

To apply Sahib Rice Gold, follow these instructions:

  1. Shake the container well before use.
  2. Mix the required amount of herbicide with water in a sprayer.
  3. Apply the solution evenly to the affected area, ensuring that the foliage of the weeds is thoroughly wetted.
  4. Avoid applying Sahib Rice Gold during windy conditions or when rain is expected within 6 hours of application.

  • Do not apply Sahib Rice Gold to rice crops that are stressed or damaged.
  • Do not apply Sahib Rice Gold to rice crops that are wet.
