Nominee Gold is a post-emergent, systemic herbicide from PI Industries specifically designed for rice cultivation.1 It offers effective control against a broad spectrum of weeds, ensuring a healthier rice crop and higher yields.2
Key Features:
Broad-Spectrum Control: Targets major grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds commonly found in rice fields.3
Systemic Action: Absorbed by the foliage and roots of weeds, ensuring thorough translocation and effective control.4
Wide Application Window: Can be applied from the 2-5 leaf stages of weeds, providing flexibility in weed management.5
Selective to Rice: Safe for rice plants at the recommended dosage, ensuring healthy crop growth and development.6
Quick Absorption: Rapidly absorbed by weeds, with rain having little impact on efficacy after 6 hours of application.7
Low Dosage: Cost-effective weed control with minimal environmental impact.8
Target Crops:
Rice (all types of cultivation: nursery, direct-seeded, and transplanted)9
Target Weeds:
Echinochloa spp.10 (Barnyard grass)
Cyperus spp.11 (Sedge)12
Monochoria vaginalis (Pickerelweed)
Other grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds13
Active Ingredient:
Bispyribac-sodium 10% SC14
Mode of Action:
Nominee Gold inhibits the enzyme Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) in susceptible weeds.15 This enzyme is crucial for the production of essential amino acids, and its inhibition disrupts protein synthesis, leading to the cessation of weed growth and eventual death.16
Application Method:
Foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of target weeds.17
Use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle for optimal application.18
Dosage:
80-120 ml per acre19
Important Notes:
Always follow the recommended dosage and safety instructions provided on the product label.
Shake the bottle well before use.
Ensure the targeted weeds are directly exposed to the spray.20
Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 6 hours of application.21
Re-flood the field within 48-72 hours of application.22
Maintain water in the field for 5-7 days to suppress weed emergence.23
Nominee Gold is a valuable tool for rice farmers seeking effective and selective weed control.24 Its systemic action, broad-spectrum control, and crop safety make it an ideal choice for maximizing rice yields and ensuring a successful harvest.25
