RATNAROP
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9.3% EC
RATNAROP (Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9.3% EC) is a selective post-emergence graminicide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's leading agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl inhibits ACCase enzyme, selectively controlling grassy weeds including Echinochloa colonum, Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria spp., and Dactyloctenium aegyptium in black gram, cotton, groundnut, onion, rice, and soybean. RATNAROP is safe for broad-leaf crops while effectively eliminating competitive grass weeds. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, RATNAROP is a trusted selective herbicide providing effective grass weed control in diverse broad-leaf crops.

FAQ for RATNAROP
What weeds does RATNAROP control?
RATNAROP controls Echinochloa colonum, Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass), Digitaria spp., and Dactyloctenium aegyptium — major annual grass weeds in broad-leaf crop cultivation.
How does Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl work?
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl inhibits ACCase enzyme in grassy weed species, blocking fatty acid biosynthesis essential for grass weed growth and membrane integrity, causing selective grass weed death.
Which crops is RATNAROP registered for?
RATNAROP is registered for black gram, cotton, groundnut, onion, rice, and soybean — providing selective grass weed control in diverse broad-leaf crop production systems.
Is RATNAROP safe for broad-leaf crops?
Yes, RATNAROP is selective — broad-leaf crops (soybean, groundnut, cotton, onion) have ACCase that is structurally different from grass ACCase and not significantly inhibited by Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl.
When should RATNAROP be applied?
Apply RATNAROP post-emergence when grassy weeds have 2–5 leaves and are actively growing. Use with an approved adjuvant for better coverage and absorption on grassy weed leaf surfaces.
