Butachlor 60% EC Application:
Butachlor is used pre-emergence for the control of annual grasses and certain broad-leaved weeds in rice, both seeded and transplanted. Butachlor shows selectivity in barley, cotton, peanuts, sugar beet, wheat and several brassica crops. Effective rates range from 1.0-4.5 kg a.i./ha. Activity is dependent on water availability such as rainfall following treatment, overhead irrigation or applications to standing water as in rice culture.

Butachlor 60% EC Biochemistry:
Inhibits cell division by blocking protein synthesis; more recent research suggests chloroacetamides may inhibit synthesis of very long chain fatty acids.

Mode of action:
Butachlor is a selective, systemic Herbicide, absorbed primarily through germinating shoots and secondarily by roots. Translocated throughout the plant, with higher concentration in the vegetative parts than the reproductive parts.
