Pretilachlor technical (CAS NO : 51218-49-6)

Pretilachlor is a selective herbicide used primarily in rice farming to control grass and broadleaf weeds during both pre-emergence and post-emergence stages. It ensures a healthy crop yield by reducing competition for nutrients.

Pretilachlor inhibits the growth of weeds by targeting their root and shoot development, preventing them from absorbing essential nutrients. Its selective nature ensures it doesn't harm the rice plants.

When used according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, Pretilachlor has low toxicity to humans and non-target organisms. It’s essential to follow proper handling and storage protocols to avoid exposure.

Other common rice herbicides include Thiobencarb, Propanil, and Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl. These chemicals have different modes of action but serve similar purposes in weed control.

Pretilachlor is primarily used for rice cultivation; its use on other crops may require approval based on local regulations.
