RATNA KIRA controls Phalaris minor, Echinochloa crusgalli, Eleusine indica, Phyllanthus niruri, Celosia argentia, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, and Digera arvensis in wheat, maize, and soybean.
How does Pyroxasulfone work?
Pyroxasulfone inhibits very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongase enzyme, disrupting lipid biosynthesis in germinating weed seedlings preventing their emergence and establishment in the crop field.
Is RATNA KIRA effective against Phalaris minor in wheat?
Yes, RATNA KIRA is highly effective against Phalaris minor (canary grass) when applied pre-emergence in wheat, controlling this major grassy weed before it emerges to compete with the crop.
What is the advantage of 85% WG concentration in RATNA KIRA?
The high 85% WG concentration allows very small application volumes per hectare, providing precise dose control with minimal packaging and reducing the environmental load per treated area.
How long does RATNA KIRA provide residual weed control?
Pyroxasulfone provides extended residual weed control of 45–60 days depending on soil type and rainfall, reducing the need for follow-up herbicide applications during the critical early crop growth period.
