Technical Name: Pretilachlor 50% EC

Description:
Pretilachlor 50% EC is a selective, pre-emergence herbicide specially formulated for effective control of annual grasses, sedges, and some broadleaf weeds in paddy cultivation. Applied before weed emergence, it inhibits weed seed germination and root development, keeping the field weed-free during the early, critical growth stage of rice. Its emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures easy mixing, uniform spray coverage, and long-lasting weed suppression without harming the rice crop.
