PI Londax Power Herbicide
Advanced Pre- & Early Post-Emergence Weed Control for Paddy
PI Londax Power is a powerful selective herbicide for rice (paddy) that combines Bensulfuron Methyl 0.6% + Pretilachlor 6% GR in granular formulation. This dual-mode herbicide effectively controls a broad spectrum of grasses, sedges, and broad-leaf weeds in transplanted paddy fields.
The combination works by preventing weed germination and inhibiting weed growth at early stages, ensuring a clean field during the critical crop-weed competition period. Pretilachlor controls grassy weeds through soil action, while Bensulfuron Methyl provides systemic control of sedges and broadleaf weeds. Because of this dual chemistry action, Londax Power delivers long-lasting weed suppression and helps farmers achieve better crop establishment and higher yields in paddy cultivation.

Londax Power Features and Benefits
Broad Spectrum Weed Control:
Effectively controls grasses, sedges, and broad-leaf weeds commonly found in transplanted paddy fields.
Dual Herbicide Technology:
The combination of Bensulfuron Methyl and Pretilachlor ensures better and wider weed control than single-ingredient herbicides.
Early Weed Suppression:
Controls weeds during the most critical stage of crop growth, helping rice plants establish strong growth without competition.
Systemic and Soil Action:
Pretilachlor acts through soil to inhibit weed germination, while Bensulfuron Methyl is absorbed by weeds and stops growth internally.
Improves Crop Yield Potential:
By eliminating weed competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water, it supports healthier rice plants and improved productivity.
Convenient Granular Formulation:
Easy broadcasting application in standing water conditions typical for transplanted paddy cultivation.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage/ha (Kg) | Method of Application | Waiting Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transplanted Paddy | Grassy Weeds, Sedges, Broadleaf Weeds | 10 Kg/ha | Uniform broadcasting in standing water | As per label |
Target Weed Examples
Grassy Weeds
Echinochloa crus-galli (Barnyard grass)
Echinochloa colonum
Sedges
Cyperus difformis
Cyperus iria
Broadleaf Weeds
Monochoria vaginalis
Ludwigia parviflora
Best Time of Application:
Apply 3–7 days after transplanting in paddy fields with 2–3 cm standing water.
Method of Application:
Broadcast granules uniformly in the field. Maintain standing water for 2–3 days after application for best performance.
Weed Control Mode of Action
Bensulfuron Methyl:
Belongs to the sulfonylurea group and inhibits the ALS enzyme, stopping cell division and growth in sedges and broadleaf weeds.
Pretilachlor:
A chloroacetanilide herbicide that prevents cell division and elongation in germinating weed seedlings, mainly controlling grasses.
The combination results in longer weed suppression and improved spectrum control in rice fields.
Safety and Compatibility
Protective Equipment: Use gloves and protective clothing during handling and application.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Compatibility: Can be used in integrated weed management programs with other herbicides.
