APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Inhibits cell division by blocking protein synthesis; more recent research suggests chloroacetamides may inhibit synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (J. Schmalfuss et al., Abstr. Meeting WSSA, Toronto, 40, 117-118, 2000; P. Böger, Abstr. III Int. Weed Control Congr., Brazil 2000). Uses Pre-emergence control of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds in paddy rice. Especially for control of Echinochloa spp. up to 2-leaf stage, at 270 g/ha. Phytotoxicity No crop (rice) injury after post-planting treatment. Formulation types EC; GR; Flowable wettable powder. Selected products: mixtures: 'Kusamets' (+ bensulfuron-methyl) (Tokuyama, Hokko, Nihon Nohyaku); 'Habikoran' (+ benzofenap+ cumyluron) (Yashima)
