Antion - Bentazone 48% SL - Mahindra Summit
Antion Herbicide by Mahindra Summit
Antion contains bentazone 48% SL. Bentazone inhibits photosynthesis at photosystem II. Mahindra’s table identifies early post-emergence use in transplanted rice and soybean at the two- to three-leaf weed stage.
Composition: bentazone 48% SL.
Timing: Early post-emergence at the two- to three-leaf weed stage, subject to the current pack.
Before use: Confirm the product rate, water volume, method and waiting period on the supplied label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Transplanted-rice scope: A named rice programme distinguishes this use from direct-seeded rice.
- 🌱Soybean scope: A separate soybean target list is provided.
- 🎯Named weed targets: The table identifies sedges, broadleaf weeds and Echinochloa species.
- ⏱️Defined weed stage: The manufacturer specifies early post-emergence at two to three leaves.
- 🔄Distinct mode of action: Bentazone is classified in HRAC Group 6.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Bentazone inhibits photosynthesis at photosystem II. Mahindra’s table identifies early post-emergence use in transplanted rice and soybean at the two- to three-leaf weed stage.
- Match weed stage: The manufacturer identifies weeds with two to three leaves.
- Photosynthetic disruption: Bentazone interferes with photosystem II electron transport in susceptible weeds.
- Weed suppression: Disruption of photosynthesis affects normal weed function; actual results depend on the labelled use conditions.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.
Target Crops & Weeds
Mahindra’s Antion recommendation table names the following crop-and-target pairings.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Transplanted rice |
|
| Soybean |
|
Each target belongs only to its listed crop. Do not extend these recommendations to unlisted crops or assume that every listed target applies to every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
Check the current pack before measuring product. The public manufacturer table uses a combined g/ml dose header without identifying the product unit. Quantitative directions are withheld until that ambiguity is resolved.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transplanted rice | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Early post-emergence | Not verified |
| Soybean | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Early post-emergence | Not verified |
The manufacturer’s product-dose heading is per hectare, not per acre. No operational dose or acre conversion is supplied from the ambiguous unit heading. The water column also needs its area basis confirmed on the pack.
PHI means the interval between the last application and harvest. An unverified waiting period does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop stage, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Antion identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Match the weed stage: Mahindra lists early post-emergence at the two- to three-leaf weed stage. Confirm the crop stage, spray equipment and other conditions on the pack.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
