Product details
Sikosa Herbicide by Crystal Crop Protection
Pretilachlor 48% + bensulfuron methyl 4.8% OD
What it controls: Listed grasses, sedges and broadleaf weeds in transplanted rice.
When to use it: A pre-emergence rice herbicide; confirm the exact days after transplanting and field-water conditions on the pack.
What to include: The authorised product quantity, the supplied-pack application directions and protective equipment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Grass-weed coverage: Includes barnyard grass, jungle rice and Bermuda grass in the listed transplanted-rice scope.
- 🌱Sedge coverage: Lists ricefield flatsedge and variable flatsedge alongside the grass targets.
- 🍃Broadleaf coverage: Includes water primrose, false daisy, heart-shaped false pickerelweed and blistering ammannia.
- 🧪Two active ingredients: Pretilachlor and bensulfuron methyl disrupt different processes needed for weed growth.
- 🧴Liquid OD formulation: The product is an oil dispersion, distinct from granular rice herbicides containing a different mixture strength.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sikosa combines two herbicide groups that interfere with early weed growth in different ways.
- Susceptible weeds take up the ingredients: The treatment acts on susceptible weeds under the label’s field conditions.
- New growth cannot form normally: Pretilachlor blocks production of fatty materials needed for normal new cells and emerging shoots.
- Essential growth compounds are interrupted: Bensulfuron methyl blocks production of key amino acids needed to make proteins, slowing and stopping susceptible weed growth.
Use an appropriate resistance-management programme. Changing brand names without changing the mode-of-action group is not a rotation.

Dosage & Application Guide
The product quantity is Crystal’s listed 500 ml/acre. Water and PHI are separate CIBRC formulation-level references, not shaker-bottle instructions. Confirm the exact current-pack method, timing and water-management requirements before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transplanted rice | 500 | Approx. 151.8 375 L/ha |
See note* | 102 |
Do not use the 375 L/ha water reference as a shaker-bottle dilution recipe. It does not establish the amount of water to put in a bottle or the required field-water depth.
*No independent per-litre or per-bottle dose is supplied. PHI is the minimum interval between treatment and harvest; confirm the current pack’s requirement.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the rice system: Use only for the transplanted-rice programme on the current pack.
- Confirm the exact timing: Crystal describes Sikosa as a pre-emergence herbicide. The precise transplant age and weed stage must be checked before treatment.
- Follow the product’s own method: Crystal mentions a shaker-bottle method. Obtain its exact dilution, distribution and equipment directions; do not substitute foliar-spray instructions.
- Check field-water management: Confirm required field-water depth and any restrictions on draining or adding water. No numerical water-depth or holding-time instruction is supplied here.
- Use the correct formulation: Do not substitute directions for bensulfuron methyl 0.6% + pretilachlor 6% granules or another mixture.
- Observe access and harvest restrictions: Check re-entry, repeat limits and harvest timing on the current pack. The table’s 102-day harvest interval is a generic reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Sikosa be used in direct-seeded rice?The listed Crystal scope here is transplanted rice. Do not transfer those directions to direct-seeded rice or a nursery.
Which kinds of weeds are listed?The manufacturer lists three grasses, two sedges and four broadleaf weeds. Identify the weed against the complete target list before use.
Is Sikosa the same as a granular bensulfuron and pretilachlor mixture?No. This product contains pretilachlor 48% and bensulfuron methyl 4.8% as an oil dispersion. Other strengths and granular formulations have different directions.
How much water goes in a shaker bottle?That must come from the current Sikosa pack’s exact instructions. The generic 375 L/ha reference is not a per-bottle mixing recipe.
Can I apply it after large weeds have established?Do not infer that use. Crystal describes Sikosa as pre-emergence; confirm the precise permitted timing and field conditions on the pack.
