Pretilachlor
Description :
Overview of Pretilachlor
Pretilachlor is a selective pre-emergence herbicide widely used in paddy (rice) cultivation for effective control of annual grasses, sedges, and certain broad-leaf weeds. It belongs to the chloroacetanilide group of herbicides and works by inhibiting cell division and shoot growth in germinating weed seeds, preventing weed establishment at an early stage.
In modern rice farming, Pretilachlor is valued for its reliable early-stage weed control, crop selectivity, and compatibility with transplanted and direct-seeded rice systems. When applied correctly, it helps maintain weed-free fields during the critical early growth period, allowing rice plants to establish strong roots and achieve better yield potential.
Pretilachlor is commonly used alone or in combination with Safeners and other rice herbicides such as Butachlor, Pretilachlor + Safener formulations, Bensulfuron-methyl, Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, and Pendimethalin for broader weed spectrum control.
ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Pretilachlor technical and formulation-grade material suitable for agrochemical manufacturing, ensuring consistent performance, purity, and regulatory compliance.
