FAQs of Butachlor:

Q: How should Butachlor be applied for optimal weed control?

A: Butachlor is most effective when applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, meaning it should be used before weeds and crops emerge. For rice, it is typically broadcast or sprayed on the field after sowing or transplanting but before weed growth begins, following recommended application rates on the label.

Q: What are the recommended storage conditions for Butachlor?

A: Store Butachlor in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. The containers, preferably HDPE drums, should be tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture ingress. Adhering to these conditions will help maintain its efficacy and stability for at least two years.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Butachlor in crop management?

A: Butachlor provides selective pre-emergence control of grasses and some broad-leaved weeds, especially in paddy fields. Its use reduces competition for nutrients, water, and light, resulting in healthier crops and improved yields. Its low mammalian toxicity also favors safer handling for applicators.

Q: Can Butachlor be used in crops other than rice?

A: While Butachlor is primarily recommended for rice, it can also be used as a pre-emergence herbicide in other crops, provided the product label and local agricultural regulations are followed. Always consult with an agronomist or the manufacturer for crop-specific guidance.

Q: What precautions should be taken during Butachlor application?

A: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles while handling and applying Butachlor. Avoid inhaling fumes or direct skin contact. Refer to the MSDS for detailed safety procedures, and ensure that the herbicide is not applied near water bodies to prevent environmental contamination.

Q: How is Butachlor supplied and what is its shelf life?

A: Butachlor is available as a clear, light yellow to brown liquid packed in HDPE drums, bulk containers, or per customer specifications. When stored under recommended conditions, it retains its efficacy for a minimum of two years from the date of manufacture.
