Tata Penflor Herbicide

Penflor Herbicide - Penoxsulam 1.02% + Cyhalofop-butyl 5.1% OD

Tata Penflor Herbicide is a selective, post-emergence herbicide formulated for effective weed management in rice and paddy crops. It contains Penoxsulam 1.02% + Cyhalofop-butyl 5.1% OD, combining two different herbicidal modes of action to help manage important grass, sedge, and broadleaf weeds.

Penflor is suitable for transplanted rice as well as Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) when applied according to the approved product label. It is particularly useful during the early post-emergence stage, when weeds compete strongly with rice plants for nutrients, water, sunlight, and growing space.

Mode of Action

Penoxsulam

Penoxsulam belongs to the ALS-inhibitor group. It interferes with the production of essential amino acids in susceptible weeds, stopping their growth and development.

Cyhalofop-butyl

Cyhalofop-butyl is an ACCase inhibitor that affects fatty-acid production in susceptible grassy weeds. This helps stop the growth of important grass weeds in rice fields.

The combination provides a dual-action herbicide approach for post-emergence weed management.

Why Farmers Prefer Penflor

Farmers managing rice and paddy fields often need to control multiple weed groups rather than a single weed species. Penflor combines two active ingredients in one formulation, making it a practical option for post-emergence weed management.

Its suitability for DSR and transplanted rice, together with activity against grass, sedge and broadleaf weeds, makes it relevant for different rice production systems.

Good weed management during the early crop stage can help reduce competition for water, nutrients, sunlight and growing space, supporting healthier crop establishment.
