Garuda is a new-generation, broad-spectrum post-emergent herbicide formulated with Bispyribac-sodium as the active ingredient. It is highly effective in controlling various weed species that commonly infest rice crops, including both nursery and main fields.

Mode of Action:

• Garuda is a selective, systemic post-emergent herbicide.

Key Features:

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively manages grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in rice crops, making it suitable for both nursery and main fields.
• Excellent Rice Crop Selectivity: It exhibits exceptional selectivity for rice crops, ensuring that it primarily targets and controls weeds.
• Rapid Degradation: Garuda degrades quickly within the plant system, providing efficient weed control while ensuring the safety of rice crops.
• Flexible Application Window: It offers a wide application window and can be applied during the early post-emergent stages.
• Low Dosage Requirement: Garuda requires a minimal dose (200-250 ml/ha) to achieve consistent and satisfactory results.
• Compatibility: It can be used in conjunction with other plant protection chemicals, such as carbamates and organophosphate insecticides, without adverse effects on rice crops.

Crops and Target Weeds:

• Nursery: Apply 10-12 days after sowing for nursery rice.
• Transplanted Rice: Use within 10-14 days of transplanting when most weeds have emerged and reached the 3-4 leaf stage.
• Direct Seeded Rice: Ideally, apply within 15-25 days of sowing.

Method of Application:

1. Drain the water from the rice field.
2. Mix the required dosage (80-120 ml per acre) with an adequate quantity of water.
3. Use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle for uniform spraying over the targeted plants.
4. Ensure that the spray mist covers the foliar parts of the weeds during application.
5. Refill the field with water within 2-3 days of application.
6. Maintain standing water at a depth of 3-4 cm for a minimum of 10 days.

Garuda is a systemic herbicide suitable for all types of rice cultivation. It effectively controls major grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, offering a wide application window for weed management during the 2-5 leaf stages of weed growth.
