General Information:

• Trade name: Sunrice
• Active ingredient: Ethoxysulfuron
• Herbicide class: Sulfonylurea herbicide

Mode of Action:

Sunrice is a systemic herbicide that works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) in plants. ALS is an essential enzyme in the production of branched-chain amino acids, which are essential for plant growth and development. By inhibiting ALS, Sunrice prevents the plant from producing the branched-chain amino acids it needs to grow and reproduce.

Application:

Sunrice is applied to transplanted rice at a rate of 100-150 grams per hectare. It can be applied using a variety of application methods, including ground spraying, aerial spraying, and chemigation.

Precautions:

• Sunrice is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply Sunrice to areas where it may run off into water bodies.
• Sunrice can be harmful to non-target plants. Avoid applying Sunrice to areas where non-target plants are growing.
• Sunrice is a residual herbicide, so it can persist in the soil for several weeks. Do not plant crops that are sensitive to Sunrice within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Sunrice herbicide to ensure safe and effective use.

Additional Information:

• Sunrice is a broad-spectrum herbicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and sedges.
• Sunrice is a selective herbicide, which means that it is less likely to harm rice plants than other herbicides.

Sunrice is a valuable tool for farmers who need to control broadleaf weeds and sedges in transplanted rice. It is important to use Sunrice according to the label directions to ensure safe and effective use.

he recommended dosage of Sunrice herbicide on transplanted rice is 100-150 grams per hectare. This dosage is effective for controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds and sedges.

The exact dosage of Sunrice required will vary depending on the severity of the weed infestation and the soil type. For example, you may need to use a higher rate of Sunrice for heavy weed infestations or on sandy soils.

It is important to note that Sunrice is a residual herbicide, which means that it can persist in the soil for several weeks. This is beneficial for weed control, but it also means that you need to be careful about planting crops that are sensitive to Sunrice within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Sunrice herbicide to ensure safe and effective use.

Here are some additional tips for applying Sunrice herbicide to rice:

• Apply Sunrice to actively growing weeds.
• Apply Sunrice pre-emergence or early post-emergence.
• Avoid applying Sunrice to flooded soils.
• Do not apply Sunrice to crops that are stressed from drought, heat, or other factors.
