Bentazone 480g/L SL Herbicide

Broad-Spectrum Post-Emergence Herbicide

Bentazone 480g/L SL is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence contact herbicide widely used for the selective control of broadleaf weeds and sedges in soybeans, rice, peanuts, peas, beans, corn, and alfalfa. It effectively inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible weeds, causing chlorosis and necrosis, leading to rapid weed death.

This systemic herbicide is absorbed mainly by leaf tissue, ensuring quick results with minimal impact on crops. Bentazone 480 SL is known for its excellent rainfastness, making it ideal for application in various climatic conditions.

Mode of Action

Bentazone 480g/L SL works by inhibiting photosystem II, disrupting the electron transport chain in weeds. This prevents photosynthesis, causing rapid dehydration, leading to chlorosis (yellowing) and eventual necrosis (death) of the weed.

  • Contact Action: Works only on the leaves and stems of weeds, making precise application important.
  • Rainfast in 4-6 Hours: Quickly absorbed, reducing the risk of wash-off by rain.
  • Selective Control: Targets broadleaf weeds and sedges without harming crops.

Key Benefits

Selective Broadleaf Weed Control – Effectively eliminates broadleaf weeds and sedges in crops like soybeans, peanuts, rice, corn, and alfalfa.
Fast-ActingVisible effects within 1-3 days with weed death occurring within 5-10 days.
Excellent Crop Safety – Can be safely used in broadleaf crops without causing damage.
Rainfast in 4-6 Hours – Works quickly and maintains efficacy even after rain.
No Residual Soil Activity – Allows for crop rotation and does not impact future planting.
Effective Resistance Management – Ideal for integrated weed management programs.

Target Weeds

Bentazone 480g/L SL is highly effective against annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including:

Annual Broadleaf Weeds:

  • Amaranthus (Amaranthus spp.)
  • Chickweed (Stellaria media)
  • Pigweed (Chenopodium album)
  • Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum)
  • Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris)
  • Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album)

Sedges & Other Weeds:

  • Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus)
  • Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus)
  • Smartweed (Polygonum spp.)
  • Water pepper (Polygonum hydropiper)

Application & Dosage

Crop Target Weeds Application Timing Dosage (L/ha) Application Method
Soybeans Broadleaf weeds, sedges Post-emergence (2-5 leaf stage of weeds) 1.0-2.5 L/ha Foliar Spray
Rice Annual sedges, broadleaf weeds Post-emergence (3-6 leaf stage of weeds) 1.2-2.0 L/ha Foliar Spray
Peanuts Common chickweed, pigweed Post-emergence (when weeds are small) 1.0-2.0 L/ha Foliar Spray
Corn Broadleaf weeds Post-emergence (up to 4-leaf stage of weeds) 1.0-2.5 L/ha Foliar Spray
Alfalfa Broadleaf weeds Post-emergence (when weeds are actively growing) 1.2-2.0 L/ha Foliar Spray

Application Guidelines

  • Apply when weeds are young and actively growing for best results.
  • Use clean water to prepare the spray solution and ensure uniform application.
  • Avoid spraying in windy conditions to minimize drift onto non-target crops.
  • Do not apply before heavy rainfall to prevent runoff losses.

Tank Mix & Compatibility

Bentazone 480g/L SL is compatible with most herbicides but should not be mixed with highly acidic or alkaline products. Common tank mixes include:

  • Bentazone + MCPA – For enhanced broadleaf weed control in cereal crops.
  • Bentazone + Clodinafop – For combined broadleaf and grassy weed control.
  • Bentazone + Quizalofop – Ideal for selective post-emergence control in soybeans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Bentazone 480g/L SL used for?
