Butachlor 60% EC is a highly effective, selective, pre-emergence herbicide from Agraicy Life Sciences, formulated as an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). With $600 \text{ g/L}$ of Butachlor ($59.50\% \text{ w/w}$) as the active ingredient, it is the cornerstone of weed management in Rice. It provides reliable, systemic control of major annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds by inhibiting cell division in the germinating weed seeds.
BUTACHLOR 60% EC is a powerful and reliable selective systemic herbicide manufactured by Agraicy Life Sciences for superior weed control in Rice (Paddy and Transplanted) cultivation. Formulated as a high-concentration Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC), it contains $600 \text{ g/L}$ of the active ingredient, Butachlor.
Key Features & Mechanism:
Butachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide that works as a pre-emergence treatment. It is absorbed primarily by the germinating shoots and secondarily by the roots of the weeds. Its mode of action is to inhibit cell division and block the synthesis of essential proteins and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) within the weed seedlings, causing growth arrest before they can emerge and compete with the rice crop.
Application in Rice:
This herbicide is critical for controlling annual weeds like Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa species) and various annual grasses and sedges that severely impact rice yield. For best results in transplanted rice, Butachlor 60% EC is typically applied using a shaker bottle within 5-7 days after transplanting (DAT), ensuring the field water level is maintained at 3-4 inches for effective soil barrier formation. This provides residual control for several weeks.
