CHOKE Herbicide (Pretilachlor 50% EC)

CHOKE (Pretilachlor 50% EC) is a selective, pre-emergence herbicide specially designed for effective control of a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in transplanted paddy. It works by inhibiting cell division and growth in germinating weed seeds, ensuring a clean and healthy crop environment during the critical early growth stages.

Its emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation ensures easy mixing, uniform application, and rapid action in the field. CHOKE helps farmers achieve higher yields by minimizing weed competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight.
