Biloxy is a selective herbicide which is used to control important weeds in direct sown, puddled or transplanted Rice, Onion, Potato, Tea and Groundnut. It has pre-emergence as well as targeted post-emergence activity. As pre-emergence, it forms a chemical barrier on the soil surface and affects weed plants through direct contact at emergence. Also actively growing plants are very susceptible to Biloxy as post-emergence action.
