DESCRIPTION
PI EKETSU Bispyribac Sodium 38% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 2.5% + Metsulfuron Methyl 2.5% WG Herbicide Details :
- Pi Eketsu is a broad specturm systemic post emergent herbicide for selective control of key grasses, sedges, broad leaf weeds in rice crops. It offers unique combination of 3 different technologies for maximum weed control efficiency
- Technical Content : Bispyribac Sodium 38% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 2.5 % + Metsulfuron Methyl 2.5 %(w/w) WG
Mode of Action:
- ALS Inhibitors / Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitor:-The novel mechanism of action attributed to ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitors.
- Enzymes are common to the biosynthesis of the branch-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine).
- This class of chemicals affects seedling growth. Older plants exhibit varied signs of malformation, stunting, and reduced seed production.
- It has long residual activity.
Features & Benefits:
- Broad spectrum-Controls Grasses, Sedges and BLWs- Very effective on difficult to control weeds-Sedges & BLWs along with key grasses
- New technology with Improved efficacy – Enhances Productivity by protecting crop from crop-weed competition
- Unique Formulation- Convenient to Users
- Saves time & effort for weed control
- Minimum wastage during handling
- High solubility resulting in better absorption in target weeds
- Flexibility of application timing at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds
- Safe chemical Profile- Safe to rice crop-No shock to crop resulting in natural growth
Method of Application:
- Time of application and crop stage:
- Direct Seeded Rice: 15-25 days after sowing at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds.
- Transplanted Rice: 10-15 days after transplanting at 2-5 leaf stage of weeds.
- Weather Conditions: Should be applied preferably in the morning and evening. Do not spray against wind directions.
- Water: Clean water to be used for spray.
- Application technique, equipment type, nozzle type:
- Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a detergent or commercial spray cleaner.
- Triple rinse the equipment before and after applying herbicide.
- Apply herbicide with recommended dose using knapsack sprayer fitted with flat fan or floodjet nozzle using 500 L/ha quantity of water to ensure thorough coverage.
- Spraying Instruction: Spray uniformly in the direction of wind. Ensure thorough coverage ofthe weeds.
- Dosage : 40gm per acre
- Instruction For Mixing : Take the measured quantity of herbicide and add to it a small quantity of water. Stir thoroughly using a rod or stick and then add the remaining quantity of water, agitate well to form final spray solution.
- PHI : Direct Seeded Rice-64 Days, For Transplanted Rice- 64 days.
- Application Timing : Should be applied preferably in the morning and evening.
FAQs – PI Eketsu (Bispyribac + Chlorimuron-Ethyl + Metsulfuron-Methyl WG)
1. What weeds does Eketsu control, and which crop is it for?
Ans. Eketsu is a broad-spectrum systemic post-emergence herbicide tailored for rice, offering effective control over grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, particularly those tough to manage with standard herbicides.
2. How does the triple-combination work to enhance weed control?
Ans. This unique formulation pairs three active ingredients—each with different modes of action—creating a synergistic effect that is more effective against diverse weed species and helps prevent herbicide resistance.
3. Is Eketsu proven more effective than single or dual herbicide mixes?
Ans. Yes. Studies in transplanted rice demonstrate that combining bispyribac-sodium with chlorimuron-ethyl + metsulfuron-methyl significantly improves weed suppression—surpassing individual applications and matching the efficacy of hand weeding in controlling weed biomass and boosting yield.
4. How should Eketsu be applied for best results?
Ans. Apply post-emergence, once the weed canopy is established but early enough for effective penetration. Use the recommended WG formulation rate as per label, ensuring even coverage for maximum uptake.
5. Does Eketsu support integrated weed resistance management?
Ans. Absolutely. By combining three different herbicide groups, Eketsu provides robust resistance management, delaying weed adaptation to any single mode of action.
6. What are the practical benefits for farmers using Eketsu?
Ans. Farmers observe:
- Superior control across grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds
- Improved grain count and yield comparable to manual weeding
- Time and labor savings thanks to efficient, broad-spectrum action
