No middleman ensures best quality at wholesale prices.
Hifit Herbicide (Pretilachlor 50% EC) is a broad-spectrum, selective pre-emergence to early post-emergence rice herbicide. Specially designed for transplanted paddy fields, it effectively controls annual grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. Its unique mode of action stops weed growth by inhibiting cell division and fatty acid synthesis in germinating weeds.
Unlike some herbicides that stress crops, Hifit promotes a visible greening effect, ensuring rice plants remain healthy without stunting or yellowing. By reducing early weed competition, it allows rice crops to establish stronger root systems and achieve higher yields.
