Rukawat-X is a selective, post-emergence herbicide manufactured by Coromandel International.1 It contains Quizalofop-P-ethyl 5% EC as its active ingredient, making it effective against a wide range of grass weeds in broadleaf crops.2

Key Features and Benefits:

• Selective action: Specifically targets grass weeds while leaving broadleaf crops unharmed.3

• Post-emergence control: Applied after the weeds have emerged, offering flexibility in application timing.4

• Systemic action: Absorbed by the foliage and translocated throughout the weed, ensuring thorough control.5

• Effective against tough grasses: Controls problematic grasses like wild oats, ryegrass, and barnyardgrass.

• Safe for crops: When used as directed, it is safe for a variety of broadleaf crops.6

Mode of Action:

Rukawat-X belongs to the Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (APP) group of herbicides.7 It works by inhibiting Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme crucial for fatty acid synthesis in plants.8 This disruption affects cell membrane formation and other vital processes, leading to the death of susceptible grass weeds.

Application:

Rukawat-X is applied as a foliar spray, ensuring good coverage of the target weeds. The optimal timing for application is when the weeds are actively growing and at the recommended growth stage. Always follow the application rates and guidelines provided on the product label.
