About Item
UPL EROS® is a selective pre-emergence granular herbicide containing Pretilachlor 6.0% + Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl 0.15% GR. It provides effective control of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in transplanted rice, ensuring a weed-free crop during the critic
Delivery
Overview
UPL EROS® is a dual-action granular herbicide developed specifically for transplanted paddy. It combines Pretilachlor, which inhibits weed shoot development, with Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl, a systemic ALS inhibitor that prevents weed growth by blocking essential amino acid synthesis.
The combination provides broad-spectrum weed control, reduces crop-weed competition during the early establishment stage, and helps rice plants utilize nutrients, moisture, and sunlight more efficiently for higher productivity.

About the Product
EROS® provides excellent early-season weed control through the complementary action of two herbicides. Pretilachlor prevents cell division and shoot emergence in germinating weeds, while Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl is absorbed by susceptible weeds and inhibits the ALS enzyme, stopping further growth.
The granular formulation allows easy broadcasting over standing water and provides extended residual activity, minimizing the need for repeated weed management operations.
