Facet Herbicide

Facet Herbicide formulated with Quinclorac 250 g/L SC

Facet Herbicide is a post-emergence herbicide for rice weed management, formulated with Quinclorac 250 g/L SC. It is used for the control of susceptible Echinochloa species and other labelled grass weeds in rice.

Facet can be used in Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) and transplanted rice, making it a useful option for farmers managing difficult grass weeds after crop establishment.

Timely weed control is important in rice because weeds compete with the crop for nutrients, water, sunlight and growing space. Facet Herbicide helps farmers manage target weeds when applied at the recommended crop and weed stage.
