Killog is a pre-emergent, selective herbicide specially designed for effective weed management in Paddy (Rice). It provides excellent control over sedges and broadleaf weeds and fair control of grasses, ensuring a clean and healthy crop stand. Killog acts through both root and foliar absorption and is translocated to the meristematic regions of the plant, effectively halting weed growth before emergence.

With its low-dose formulation and superior environmental safety profile, Killog is suitable for multiple paddy cultivation systems, including Direct Sown Paddy (DSR), Nursery Beds, and Transplanted Paddy Fields. Its high selectivity ensures that it targets weeds without affecting crop health, making it an ideal choice for modern rice farmers.

Product Specifications

Mode of Action

Killog is absorbed through the roots and leaves of emerging weeds and is translocated to growing meristems. It inhibits key growth processes in susceptible weed species, resulting in effective pre-emergent control. The formulation ensures that weeds fail to emerge, maintaining a weed-free environment during the early growth stages of the paddy crop.

Special Features

• Low-Dose Herbicide: Highly efficient and environmentally safe due to its low application rate.
• Broad Spectrum Control: Provides excellent control of sedges and broadleaf weeds with fair control of grassy weeds.
• Flexible Application: Suitable for nursery, direct-sown, and transplanted paddy fields.
• Soil-Friendly: Does not affect soil’s physical, chemical, or microbial properties.
• Crop Rotation Safe: Can be used safely in multiple crop rotation systems.
• Consistent Performance: Effective under varied field conditions, ensuring sustained weed control.

Recommendations

Time of Application: Apply 0–3 days after sowing or transplanting. Spray must be done before weed emergence for maximum effectiveness.

Application Method

• Mix the recommended dose of Killog with sufficient water and apply uniformly using a knapsack or power sprayer.
