How It Works: Mode of Action
Penoxsulam blocks acetolactate synthase, an enzyme plants need to make certain essential amino acids. Growth is disrupted in susceptible weeds.
- Weed contact: The spray deposits active ingredient on emerged target weeds.
- Enzyme inhibition: Penoxsulam interferes with ALS activity.
- Growth interruption: Susceptible weeds cannot maintain normal amino-acid production and growth.
Use the current label and local resistance-management advice. A second active ingredient or a change of brand does not guarantee that resistance will be prevented.
Target Crops & Weeds
The following crop and weed pairings are drawn from Synergy’s Asset product information, with the qualifications below. They do not establish use on every crop or against every problem.
| Crop | Target Weeds |
|---|---|
| Rice |
|
Rice here means transplanted rice only. No direct-seeded-rice programme is added from a generic formulation list.
Dosage & Application Guide
These are manufacturer product-page references, not a substitute for the supplied label. Keep product amount, water and harvest interval paired with the same crop.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose / Litre | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 380–400 | Confirm* | Confirm* | 60 |
Synergy lists 380–400 ml/acre and a 60-day harvest wait. Its water instructions conflict: the table gives 200 L/acre while the application text gives 300–500 L/ha. Confirm the correct water programme before mixing.
*A field marked “Confirm” is not established for use here. Obtain the missing or corrected instruction before treatment; an absent PHI does not mean zero days.
The manufacturer states 15–20 days after transplanting and a knapsack sprayer with a flood-jet or flat-fan nozzle. The water conflict is unresolved; no tank concentration is calculated.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Application route: Post-emergence spray in transplanted rice.
- Match the treatment: Use the named crop and target, and follow the crop and pest or disease stage stated on the supplied pack.
- Mixing and coverage: Use the labelled equipment and water instructions. Do not assume that this product can be mixed with another pesticide.
- Before treatment: Resolve every missing or conflicting direction, including waiting periods and re-entry requirements.
