An important herbicide for rice-metamifop

The current international situation is complicated. Affected by the Russia-Ukraine war and extreme weather, food security has become the top priority of global concern. Rice is one of the three most important food crops in the world (rice, corn, wheat). More than 50% of the world's population relies on rice as the main food source, so the market potential of rice herbicide is self-evident.

Metamifop is an aromatic oxyoxypropionate herbicide developed by the Korea Institute of Chemical Technology. It is an excellent herbicide against most annual grass weeds. Unlike most of these herbicides, Metamifop is safe for rice and effective against the main weeds in paddy fields, such as Barnyard grass, moleplant seed, crab grass, and goose grass.

Function

Metamifop is an ACC enzyme inhibitor, which can inhibit the synthesis of plant fatty acids. Within a few days after the application of the drug, the sensitive plants will appear green, inhibit growth, and some varieties will dry out two weeks after the application of the drug, even death.

Advantages of Metamifop

The reasons why Metamifop quickly became the mainstream herbicide in paddy fields due to its high mixing ability are as follows:

1. Has a wide spectrum weeding

Compared with traditional rice field herbicides, Metamifop has a wider weed control spectrum, and has good control effect on most of the barnyard grass, Semen Euphorbiae Lathyridis, crabgrass and bulgoweed in the rice field.

2. Higher security

The safety of Metamifop is higher than that of bispyribac-sodium. It can be used in rice Sanye Xin Xin, and the liquid can be degraded by soil organic matter, and there is no residual harm to next crops.

3. Weeding is fast

After Metamifop was applied, the weeds changed after 3 days, the leaves of weeds turned yellow and withered in about 7 days, and the stems and roots of weeds could rot and die in about 10 days.

4. Convenient to use

Metamifop can be used in all rice varieties, such as direct plan rice fields, transplanting fields. In the rice field, when weed have two leaves of direct plan rice fields can be sprayed; when weed have three leaves can be used in a transplanted field. After application, water retention for 24 hours to achieve the perfect control effect.

5. Market prospect

Rice is the largest crop in the world. In the face of such a huge paddy market, Metamifop not only has a wider grass killing spectrum, higher safety and mixing ability, but also has a very strong selling point and considerable prospect.

In addition, the number of rice herbicide varieties is relatively limited, and resistance increases with the increase of the use of conventional herbicides over the years, as well as the constant changes in the grass phase of the rice field, requiring better solutions. We believe that Metamifop will be one of the most promising herbicide products in paddy fields.
