Sikosa employs a dual-mode strategy to prevent weed resistance and ensure high efficacy.

1. Cell Division Block (Pretilachlor): Creates a chemical barrier on the soil surface. When weeds try to emerge, it stops cell division in the shoots, preventing them from growing.
2. Enzyme Inhibition (Bensulfuron Methyl): This systemic component is absorbed by roots and leaves, blocking the ALS enzyme. This starves the weed of essential amino acids, causing it to wither and die.
3. The Synergy Effect: The combination ensures that if a weed escapes one mode of action, the other catches it, providing complete field sanitation.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

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

• Timing: Apply strictly between 0 to 3 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for maximum efficacy.
• Mixing: Sikosa is an Oil Dispersion (OD). Shake the bottle vigorously before mixing. Use a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle for spraying.
• Coverage: Ensure the field has 2-3 cm of standing water at the time of application. Maintain this water level for 5-7 days to prevent weed germination.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid draining treated water into fish ponds.
