Reliable herbicide for protecting rice crops
Herbicide with high selectivity and broad spectrum activity against wetland weeds, which often become a serious problem in rice cultivation.
Advantages of the product
— effectively kills the underground parts of weeds, thus preventing their germination in the next season;
— easily decomposes in rice plants: during trials, no signs of crop growth inhibition were observed;
— Sirius has a low environmental impact;
— the product is safe for humans, animals, fish, and all beneficial aquatic organisms (microorganisms, aquatic fauna, etc.).
Mode of action
Sirius is primarily absorbed by the root system (unlike 2,4-D, which enters plant tissues through leaves and stems), so foliar application does not provide effective weed control.
Application features
— Sirius can be applied either before rice emergence or after rice emergence: from the first leaf stage to the tillering stage;
— to combat barnyard grass, Sirius must be applied during the pre-emergence period at the 1.5-leaf stage of the weed. In cases where barnyard grass has a growth advantage, the efficacy of the product can be enhanced by combining it with cereal herbicides;
— to eradicate couch grass, Sirius should be applied immediately after all its seedlings appear. In case of seedling rice, the field must be flooded 3-4 days after treatment.
