Product details
Craze Herbicide | Pretilachlor 50% EC
An early weed-control herbicide for transplanted rice. It acts on germinating weeds, so timing before weed emergence matters.
What it controls: The listed grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds in transplanted rice.
When to use it: Before weeds emerge, within 0–3 days after transplanting, as described by Dhanuka and subject to the supplied label.
What to include: Confirmed label directions for application method, field water management, product amount and harvest restrictions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Targets the first weed flush: Pre-emergence use means treatment before weeds become established. It is not a substitute for a different, approved treatment when large weeds are already present.
- 🌾Focused on transplanted rice: The manufacturer identifies transplanted rice, rather than every rice-growing system. That distinction helps avoid applying the same programme in direct-seeded rice without label support.
- 🎯Several weed groups covered: The listed targets include grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds. Identify the actual weeds because “broad spectrum” does not mean every species will be controlled.
- 🍃Taken up by young weed growth: The ingredient enters mainly through the emerging shoot, and to a lesser extent through roots. It acts while susceptible seedlings are developing.
- 🔎A clear resistance group: Pretilachlor belongs to HRAC Group 15. Use the group number, along with crop and weed suitability, when selecting label-approved alternatives.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Craze acts in the early growth zone of germinating weeds. It is a herbicide, not a fungicide or a rice-growth promoter.
- Germinating weeds take up the ingredient: The young shoot is the main entry point, with some root uptake. A well-managed, correctly timed field treatment is different from trying to kill mature weed foliage.
- Essential building blocks are interrupted: Pretilachlor blocks the production of certain long-chain fats that young plant cells need for normal development.
- Susceptible seedlings fail to establish: Affected weeds cannot develop normally. Keep the treatment within the label’s crop-stage and water-management directions rather than assuming more product gives better protection.
A different brand can contain the same active ingredient and mode-of-action group. Plan any further treatment using the current label and qualified local advice, not the brand name alone.
Target Crops & Pests
Manufacturer-listed uses are shown below. Confirm that the supplied pack label permits the intended crop and target before use.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Transplanted rice |
Grasses
Sedges and broad-leaved weeds

Use only on the crops and targets allowed by the current Indian pack label.
For transplanted rice only in this description. Direct-seeded rice, nursery beds and unlisted crops need separate label confirmation.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the application method, dose, water and field-water management on the current Craze 50% EC label. Numerical treatment directions are not provided here until that complete programme is clear.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transplanted rice | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
*Use the supplied Craze 50% EC directions for the complete treatment. Do not assume that spraying and sand broadcasting are interchangeable methods.
No per-litre or pump dose, water-depth instruction, repeat interval or re-entry period is established here. The 0–3-day window describes application timing, not a repeat programme.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the rice system: Confirm that the crop is transplanted rice and the intended use appears on the current pack label.
- Inspect weed stage: Plan before emergence. If weeds are already established or the labelled window has passed, ask for an appropriate alternative rather than increasing the Craze dose.
- Read field-water instructions: Read the labelled water depth, retention or drainage requirements and application method before treatment. Use only the carrier and method specified on the pack.
- Measure and calibrate: Once the full label programme is known, measure the field and use equipment or distribution methods suited to that programme. Aim for an even treatment without double application.
- Keep mixtures label-supported: Do not automatically add a sticker, fertiliser or another herbicide. Compatibility claims do not override each product’s directions or establish crop safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Craze for weeds that are already large?No such use is established here. The manufacturer describes treatment before weed emergence, within 0–3 days after transplanting. Seek advice on a suitable label-approved option if weeds have already developed.
2. Can I use it in direct-seeded rice?This description supports the manufacturer’s transplanted-rice use only. Do not extend that to direct-seeded rice or nursery beds unless the current exact-product label specifically permits it.
3. Can I mix it with sand?Only if the current Craze 50% EC label permits that method and provides the complete directions. No sand quantity or broadcasting recipe is provided here.
4. Why is there no ready-to-use dose?A product amount and water range are not the whole treatment. Method and field-water management are important for a pre-emergence rice herbicide. Those details need the current pack directions before a safe programme can be stated.
5. Will it cure rice blast or make the crop greener?Craze is a weed-control product, not a blast fungicide or fertiliser. It does not replace disease treatment or crop nutrition, and no greening or yield increase is guaranteed.
