Paddy is a crop of windows — nursery, transplant, tillering, panicle. Miss one and the tillers you needed never arrive. The aim is a clean, well-tillered field that finishes with filled grain, not chaff.
The season, stage by stage
Crop → problem → product → application → benefit
Each step below names the problem as it appears in the field, the Shaktiwan Agro product for it, when to apply, and the benefit you should expect. Dose is printed on the approved pack label.
Dead hearts at the tillering stage, white ears at panicle, and folded leaves scraped white by larvae.
As printed on the Company-approved pack label and technical leaflet. Please confirm with our agronomy team before use.
Apply at the recommended crop stage as printed on the approved label.
Protects productive tillers and panicles — the part of the plant that becomes yield.
Hopper burn — circular patches of drying, browning crop, worst in dense, over-fertilised stands.
As printed on the Company-approved pack label and technical leaflet. Please confirm with our agronomy team before use.
Direct the spray to the base of the plant where hoppers sit, as directed on the label.
Stops hopper burn spreading through the field and saves the standing crop.
Diamond-shaped leaf lesions, neck rot at panicle, and water-soaked lesions on the sheath.
As printed on the Company-approved pack label and technical leaflet. Please confirm with our agronomy team before use.
Preventive cover at panicle initiation and again as advised for your disease pressure.
Protects the neck and sheath so the panicle fills instead of drying.
Echinochloa, sedges and broadleaf weeds crowding the crop in the first weeks after transplant.
As printed on the Company-approved pack label and technical leaflet. Please confirm with our agronomy team before use.
Apply in the correct pre- or post-emergent window for your weed flora, per the label.
A clean field through tillering, so nitrogen goes to the crop and not the weeds.
Stunted plants, rusty brown blotches on the middle leaves and disappointing tiller counts.
As printed on the Company-approved pack label and technical leaflet. Please confirm with our agronomy team before use.
Foliar application at tillering, repeated as directed by the approved leaflet.
More productive tillers and better grain filling at harvest.
