How RiceDuo 70 EC Works

RiceDuo 70 EC combines Butachlor and Propanil, two herbicidal active ingredients with different weed-control characteristics.

Butachlor primarily provides activity against susceptible developing weed seedlings and is particularly useful against grass weeds in rice. Propanil provides post-emergence contact activity against susceptible weeds.

Together, the two active ingredients provide complementary control of susceptible weeds belonging to different weed groups commonly found in rice production.

Target Weeds

RiceDuo 70 EC is registered for the control of susceptible:

Grasses

Sedges

Broadleaf weeds

The FPA registration specifically identifies these three weed groups for both transplanted rice and direct-seeded rice.

Recommended Use

RiceDuo 70 EC is registered for post-emergence application in rice.

The FPA-listed application rate is:

8–12 tablespoons per 16 L of water

for both transplanted and direct-seeded rice.

For best results, application should be made according to the recommended crop and weed-growth stages indicated on the product label.

Proper water management and application timing are important when using rice herbicides.

Always follow the current product label for the exact application procedure, dosage, timing, water conditions, and safety requirements.
