Lukario Herbicide by Parijat
Metamifop 10% EC for listed grass weeds in direct-seeded rice.
Crop system: Direct-seeded rice, not an assumed transplanted-rice
programme.
Target weeds: Barnyard grasses, crowfoot grass and Digitaria
grasses.
Application role: Post-emergence treatment of emerged target weeds, using
high-volume knapsack spraying.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Grass-weed focus: Targets the named
narrow-leaved grasses rather than promising control of every rice weed.
-
🌱 Post-emergence role: Applied after target
weeds have emerged, distinct from a pre-emergence soil treatment.
-
🍃 Leaf and stem uptake: Absorbed through
above-ground weed tissues and moved towards growing points.
-
🎯 Growth-pathway action: Metamifop inhibits
ACCase, an enzyme needed for essential fatty-acid production in susceptible grasses.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Entry through emerged weed tissue: Metamifop is absorbed through leaves and stems of susceptible grass weeds.
-
Movement to growing points: The active ingredient moves within the weed towards tissues responsible for new growth.
-
Fatty-acid production interrupted: ACCase inhibition disrupts production of essential fatty acids, limiting normal growth and
development of the target grass.
Selectivity depends on the permitted crop and correct application; it is not a zero-injury guarantee. A
different product in HRAC Group 1 may still repeat the same mode of action, so use crop-specific resistance
guidance.
Target Crops & Weeds

This is a grass-weed use, not a broadleaf or sedge programme. Do not transfer it to transplanted rice or use it
on bajra (pearl millet), jowar (sorghum), maize or wheat.
Dosage & Application Guide
Post-Emergence Grass Treatment & Knapsack Setup
Use as a post-emergence treatment after the listed grass weeds have emerged in direct-seeded rice. Ensure
adequate field moisture before use. Before measuring, use the exact pack’s crop and weed-stage directions together with its product
quantity, water volume, placement restrictions and harvest interval.
Measure the required concentrate, premix it with a small quantity of water and then add the remaining specified
water with thorough agitation. For high-volume application, use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a flat-jet or flood-jet nozzle. Do not
interpret the EC formulation as a dry-broadcast or seed-treatment product.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the rice system: Use the direct-seeded-rice directions rather than transferring the programme to transplanted rice or other
cereals.
-
Identify the grass: Match the weed to the listed grasses. Do not assume sedges or broadleaf weeds are covered simply because they
occur in the same field.
-
Check the pack’s stage window: Treatment is post-emergence. Use the exact crop and weed-stage window printed on the supplied pack
rather than guessing from weed height or another product’s schedule.
-
Measure and premix: Calibrate for the treated area, measure the concentrate and mix first with a little water. Add the rest with
thorough agitation and do not mix with bare hands.
-
Use the correct nozzle: Use high-volume knapsack equipment with a flat-jet or flood-jet nozzle and follow the pack’s coverage,
weather and drift safeguards.
-
Protect other crops: Do not use on bajra, jowar, maize or wheat. Prevent drift onto neighbouring crops and follow the label’s
harvest and further-treatment restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Lukario for every weed in rice?
No. The listed use is for named grass weeds in direct-seeded rice: Echinochloa barnyard grasses, crowfoot
grass and Digitaria grasses. Broadleaf weeds and sedges are not added to that list.
2. Can I apply it before the weeds emerge?
The described use is post-emergence, after target weeds have emerged. Follow the exact pack’s crop and
weed-stage window; do not substitute a pre-emergence soil treatment.
3. Can I use it on transplanted rice or another cereal?
Do not transfer the direct-seeded-rice programme to transplanted rice. Do not use it on bajra, jowar, maize
or wheat.
4. Which sprayer and nozzle are specified?
For high-volume application, use a knapsack sprayer with a flat-jet or flood-jet nozzle. Premix the measured
product with a little water, then add the remaining specified water with thorough agitation.
5. Does selective mean that crop damage cannot happen?
No. Selectivity depends on the correct crop, product quantity, stage and application conditions. It does not
authorize unlisted crops, drift onto neighbouring fields or an improvised rate.
