NANAIMO 50 EC

INTRODUCTION: NANAIMO 50 EC is a selective systemic chloracetamide herbicide effective against a wide range of both annual grass weeds and certain broad-leaved weeds. It is applied prior to weed emergence or very early post- weed emergence in crops and has shown selectivity in wheat, barley, cotton, corn, cowpeas, onions, chillies, groundnuts, sugar beet and several other brassica crops. Butachlor 50 EC can be used in transplanted, direct seeded and upland rice.- NANAIMO 50 EC needs activation by rainfall or irrigatation, activity is dependent on water availability such as rainfall following treatment, overhead irrigation, or applications to standing water in rice culture. Combinations of NANAIMO 50 EC – with other herbicides will effectively control established weeds and prevent the emergence of new weeds, see local recommendations for advice on tank mixtures.

Mode of Action: Butachlor is absorbed primarily by the germinating weed shoots, and absorbed secondarily by the weed roots. It is subsequently translocated through the weed plants giving higher concentrations in vegetative foliage rather than in reproductive plant parts. Butachlor inhibits cell division by blocking protein synthesis. Butachlor requires rainfall or irrigation to ensure that it penetrates plants and also enters the root zone allowing it to be taken up by target weeds..

USAGES: Important Weed Types Controlled : – Annual grasses: Echinocloa spp. and Leptochloa chinensis – Some aquatic weeds: – Some broad-leaved weeds: Monochoria vaginalis and Sphenoclea zeylanica – Some sedges: Fimbristylis spp. and Cyperus spp.
