Stop weed competition before it starts. Sokusai is a premium pre-emergence herbicide designed to protect your transplanted paddy yield.

Sokusai (Pretilachlor 50% EC) by IFFCO MC is a powerful, broad-spectrum herbicide essential for modern rice farming. It creates a chemical barrier in the soil that prevents weeds from germinating, saving you significant labor costs compared to manual weeding.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Sokusai acts as a growth inhibitor. It targets the weed seeds as they attempt to germinate in the treated water.

  1. Absorption: The herbicide is rapidly absorbed by the "coleoptile" (the young shoot) of the weed seedling.
  2. Inhibition: It blocks the synthesis of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFAs), which stops cell division.
  3. Termination: The weed seedling stops growing, becomes twisted or swollen, and dies before it can emerge above the water surface.

Note: Sokusai does not kill fully grown weeds. It must be used before weeds emerge.
