Propanil 80% DF is a post-emergence, contact herbicide used for the effective control of grassy and broadleaf weeds in rice crops. The dry flowable (DF) formulation is easy to handle, disperses quickly in water, and ensures uniform spray coverage on weed foliage. Propanil acts primarily on the leaf surface, providing reliable control of established weeds without harming the rice crop. It is most effective when applied post-emergence, typically 15-25 days after sowing, when weeds are in their early growth stage.
Propanil acts by inhibiting photosystem II (PSII) in the photosynthetic process of susceptible weeds. This blockage disrupts electron transport, halting the production of essential energy molecules (ATP and NADPH) and leading to chlorosis, tissue necrosis, and weed death.
Rice plants remain unharmed because they possess the enzyme aryl acylamidase, which rapidly detoxifies propanil, providing excellent crop selectivity.
