Daokda 10 OD | Post-Emergence Rice Herbicide
Introduction: Daokda 10 OD is a post-emergence selective herbicide developed by UPL (formerly Arysta LifeScience) for effective weed control in rice cultivation. It combines two active ingredients—Penoxsulam and Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl—in an oil dispersion (OD) formulation, providing comprehensive control over a broad spectrum of weeds, including resistant and hard-to-control species. Active Ingredients:
- Penoxsulam (6% w/w): Inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme crucial for amino acid synthesis in plants, leading to effective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds.
- Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (4% w/w): Targets acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), disrupting fatty acid synthesis necessary for weed growth, effectively managing annual grass weeds.
Key Features:
- Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively manages a wide range of weeds, including sedges, broadleaf weeds, and grasses such as Leptochloa chinensis.
- Systemic Action: Absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots, ensuring thorough weed eradication.
- Resistance Management: Utilizes dual modes of action to combat herbicide-resistant weed populations.
- Crop Safety: Designed specifically for rice, ensuring minimal phytotoxicity when used as directed.
Application Guidelines:
- Dosage: Apply 93.75 to 156.25 ml per acre, depending on weed pressure and growth stage.
- Timing: Apply post-emergence when weeds are actively growing, typically at the 2- to 4-leaf stage.
- Method: Use as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of weed foliage.
Safety and Handling:
- Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection during mixing and application.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from food, feed, and out of reach of children and animals.
- Environmental Precautions: Avoid application near water bodies and adhere to local regulations to protect non-target species and the environment.
Conclusion: Daokda 10 OD offers rice farmers an effective solution for managing a broad spectrum of weeds, enhancing crop health and yield potential. Always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines and local agricultural regulations when using this product.
