Syngenta Rifit Plus Herbicide
Advanced Pre-Emergence Weed Control for Rice
Syngenta Rifit Plus (Pretilachlor 37% EW) is a highly effective pre-emergence herbicide designed to control a wide spectrum of grassy, sedge, and broad-leaf weeds in transplanted rice. Developed by Syngenta, it uses the powerful chloroacetanilide herbicide Pretilachlor 37% EW, which stops weed growth at the germination stage before they compete with the crop. Rifit Plus forms a protective herbicidal layer on the soil surface that prevents weed seedlings from emerging, ensuring clean crop establishment and higher yield potential for paddy farmers.
By targeting weeds at the earliest stage, Rifit Plus reduces early crop competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight, making it one of the most trusted weed management solutions for rice cultivation.
