Introduction

Eketsu is a broad specturm systemic post emergent herbicide for selective control of key grasses, sedges, broad leaf weeds in rice crops. It offers unique combination of 3 different technologies for maximum weed control efficiency

Features & Benefits

  1.  Broad spectrum-Controls Grasses, Sedges and BLWs- Very effective on difficult to control weeds-Sedges & BLWs along with key grasses
  2.  New technology with Improved efficacy – Enhances Productivity by protecting crop from crop-weed competition
  3.  Unique Formulation- Convenient to Users
    • Saves time & effort for weed control
    • Minimum wastage during handling
    • High solubility resulting in better absorption in target weeds
    •  Flexibility of application timing at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds
  4.  Safe chemical Profile- Safe to rice crop-No shock to crop resulting in natural growth

Method of Application

  • Time of application and crop stage:
    • Direct Seeded Rice: 15-25 days after sowing at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds.
    • Transplanted Rice: 10-15 days after transplanting at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds.
    • Weather Conditions: Should be applied preferably in the morning and evening. Do not spray against wind directions.
    • Water: Clean water to be used for spray.
  • Application technique, equipment type, nozzle type:
    • Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a detergent or commercial spray cleaner.
    • Triple rinse the equipment before and after applying herbicide.
    • Apply herbicide with recommended dose using knapsack sprayer fitted with flat fan or floodjet nozzle using 500 L/ha quantity of water to ensure thorough coverage.
    • Spraying Instruction: Spray uniformly in the direction of wind. Ensure thorough coverage ofthe weeds.
  • Dosage: For Direct Seeded Rice- 100 g of formulation per hectare, For Transplanted Rice- 100 g of formulation per hectare
  • Instruction for mixing: Take the measured quantity of herbicide and add to it a small quantity of water. Stir thoroughly using a rod or stick and then add the remaining quantity of water, agitate well to form final spray solution.
  • Re-entry Restrictions: Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval of 24 hours.
  • PHI: Direct Seeded Rice-64 Days, For Transplanted Rice- 64 days.

Antidote
No specific antidote is known. Treat symptomatically.		 Precautions

  • Prior to herbicides application the field should be drained.
  • Field should be re-flooded after 24 hours of application and water should be maintained at least for 10 days post application.
Mode of Action

  • ALS Inhibitors / Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitor:-The novel mechanism of action attributed to ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitors.
  • Enzymes are common to the biosynthesis of the branch-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine).
  • This class of chemicals affects seedling growth. Older plants exhibit varied signs of malformation, stunting, and reduced seed production.
  • It has long residual activity.
