Mode of Action & Weed Control

Londax Power offers a dual mode of action—ALS inhibition plus VLCFA disruption—for broad-spectrum control of:

• Grasses (e.g., barnyard grass, crabgrass)

• Sedges (e.g., Cyperus species)

• Broadleaf weeds (e.g., Eclipta, Ludwigia, Marsilea)

This combination ensures early-stage systemic absorption, long-lasting weed control, and enhanced crop safety.

Active Ingredients & Formulation

• Bensulfuron-methyl (0.6%): A sulfonylurea compound that inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS)—critical for amino acid synthesis—resulting in weed growth suppression.

• Pretilachlor (6%): A chloroacetanilide herbicide that disrupts the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), essential for plant cell membrane integrity, effectively killing targeted weeds.Delivered in a granular (GR) formulation that’s easy to broadcast over flooded rice fields.
