For controlling grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges in both direct-sown and transplanted rice, Council activ is an effective option. When applied, it is absorbed by the leaves of weeds and then metabolized into N-demethylation, creating a metabolite that significantly inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS). This inhibitory action targets susceptible weeds, particularly when ethoxysulfuron is used, which is absorbed through weed leaves, translocated within the plant, and also inhibits acetolactate synthase. The recommended application rate ensures safe use for rice crops while effectively managing weed growth
