Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Preet acts as a growth inhibitor targeting weed seedlings before they emerge from the soil.

  1. Uptake: The herbicide is absorbed rapidly by the shoots (coleoptiles) and roots of germinating weed seeds.
  2. Cellular Blockage: It inhibits the synthesis of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFA), which are essential for cell division and cell growth.
  3. Elimination: Without new cells, the weed seedling stops growing, fails to emerge from the soil surface, and dies within days.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Adjust dose slightly higher for heavy clay soils and lower for light sandy soils.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Transplanted Rice500 ml - 750 ml200 Liters (Spray) or Sand Mix2.5 - 3.75 ml75 - 90 Days

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply strictly between 0 to 5 Days After Transplanting (DAT). Effectiveness drops significantly if weeds have already emerged (2-3 leaf stage).
  • Mixing (Sand Method): Mix the recommended dose with 20-25 kg of dry sand or fertilizer (Urea). Broadcast uniformly over the field.
  • Coverage (Water Management): Maintain 2-3 inches of standing water in the field for 3-5 days after application. This water acts as a carrier to spread the chemical and form a barrier.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not drain water immediately.
