- 🍃Several weed groups: The label names grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds.
- 💧Brand-specific reference: The leaflet supplies a product-area rate; confirm the water-area basis before use.
- 📅Clear planning window: The label supplies both post-transplant timing and a harvest interval.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Krishi Rasayan / Prince |
| Technical Name | Pretilachlor 50% EC |
| Product Type | Selective pre-emergence herbicide |
| Formulation | EC – emulsifiable concentrate |
| HRAC Group | 15 – inhibition of very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis |
| Verified Crop | Transplanted rice |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Pretilachlor is an HRAC Group 15 herbicide. It interferes with very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis, a process needed for normal growth of susceptible weeds.
- Early placement: The labelled application is made soon after transplanting, before weeds become established.
- Weed uptake: Young weed shoots and roots take up the active ingredient in the treated zone.
- Growth disruption: Disrupted fatty-acid synthesis prevents normal development of susceptible weeds.
This is not a rescue treatment for every mature weed. Follow the label’s crop stage and weed stage. Repeated reliance on Group 15 alone is not a resistance-management programme.
Target Crops & Weeds

Rice in this table means transplanted rice. Do not extend this programme to direct-seeded rice or assume that every weed species is covered.
Dosage & Application Guide
These are rounded acre equivalents of the product rate in the linked Prince leaflet. Its water entry does not explicitly state an area basis.
Verified Dose, Water & Harvest Interval
| Crop / use | Product dose | Water volume | Timing | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | About 405–607 ml/acre | Confirm label | Within 5 days* | 75–90 days |
Original leaflet product rate: 1,000–1,500 ml per hectare. The separate water column lists 500–750 L but does not explicitly state an area basis, so no per-hectare or per-acre water quantity is inferred. *Timing is within 5 days after transplanting. Rice here means transplanted rice; the application is pre-emergence.
The leaflet lists a knapsack or compression knapsack sprayer, including battery-operated equipment, with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle. Its optimal re-entry period is 24 hours. Follow the supplied pack if more restrictive directions apply.
The 75–90-day waiting interval is the leaflet’s range, not permission to harvest early. Confirm the applicable interval and water-management directions from the current pack. No sand-mixing method, universal tank dose or retreatment schedule is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop system: Use only in transplanted rice under the supplied label. Check the number of days since transplanting and whether the target weeds are at the correct stage.
- Calibrate the equipment: Use the label-listed sprayer and nozzle, and measure the product and water for the actual treated area.
- Apply evenly: Follow the pack’s field-water and weather directions. Avoid overlaps, spray drift, runoff and contamination of neighbouring crops or water bodies.
- Respect waiting periods: Record the treatment date. Observe the current pack’s harvest interval, re-entry restrictions and any repeat-use limits.
