Key Features & Benefits
Rifit is a pre-emergence herbicide, meaning it is applied before the weeds emerge. This helps in preventing the growth of weeds right from the early stages.
It is effective in controlling grasses, sedges, and some broadleaf weeds in transplanted rice.
Rifit is the safest herbicide recommended for varieties of paddy crop.
It provides long-lasting control by being absorbed and transported throughout the plant, which helps in maintaining weed-free fields for an extended period.
Rifit Herbicide is selective and safe for all known varieties of rice. It does not cause adverse effects like stunting or yellowing; instead, it promotes a greening effect on the crop.
It can be used in combination with other herbicides, making it a versatile option for integrated weed management strategies.
Rifit dissolves quickly and spreads fast after application, making it suitable for integrated weed management (IWM) programs.
