About Craze Herbicide
Craze herbicide is a selective, broad-spectrum, pre-emergence herbicide containing Pretilachlor 50% EC. It helps to control annual grassy weeds, sedges, and broadleaf weeds that compete with rice plants for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space.
Craze Herbicide Technical Name
Pretilachlor 50% EC
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Soil-active systemic herbicide
Time of Application: Pre-emergence (Within 4-5 days of transplanting).
Mode of Action: Pretilachlor is absorbed by germinating weed seedlings through their shoots and roots with trans-location throughout the plant. It inhibits cell division and growth processes, preventing weeds from establishing successfully. When applied shortly after transplanting, Craze forms a protective herbicidal layer in the soil that prevents weed emergence.
