BENISTER is a selective, post-emergent herbicide manufactured by HPM India. It contains Bispyribac-sodium 10% SC (Suspension Concentrate) as its active ingredient. This herbicide is effective against a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in rice crops. It can also be used to stunt the growth of weeds in non-crop situations.
Key features and benefits:
Selective action: BENISTER effectively controls various weeds while being safe for rice crops.
Systemic action: It is absorbed by the weeds through their foliage and roots and translocated throughout their system, effectively inhibiting their growth.
Broad-spectrum weed control: It controls a wide range of weeds in rice, including:
Grasses: Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass), Echinochloa colonum (junglerice), Ischaemum rugosum (murain grass)
Sedges: Cyperus difformis (smallflower umbrella sedge), Cyperus iria (rice flatsedge), Fimbristylis miliacea (grasslike fimbry)
Broadleaf weeds: Eclipta alba (false daisy), Ludwigia parviflora (water primrose), Monochoria vaginalis (pickerelweed)
Stunting of weeds in non-crop areas: BENISTER can also be used to suppress weed growth in non-crop situations, such as roadsides, industrial areas, and fallow land.
Cost-effective: It offers efficient weed control at an economical price.
Mode of action:
Bispyribac-sodium is an Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) inhibitor. It disrupts the production of essential amino acids in susceptible plants, leading to the inhibition of cell division and growth, ultimately causing weed death.
Recommended crops:
BENISTER is specifically formulated for use in rice.
Application:
BENISTER is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation. It should be diluted with water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray.
Timing: Apply BENISTER when weeds are actively growing, typically 15-20 days after transplanting rice.
Water management: Ensure adequate water in the field for optimal herbicide activity.
Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.
Safety precautions:
Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, when handling BENISTER.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Do not apply near water bodies to prevent contamination.
Avoid spray drift to non-target plants.
Important Note:
Always follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label. For specific queries or concerns, consult an agricultural expert or contact HPM India directly.
