Sumitomo LENTIGO Pre-Emergence Herbicide for Paddy
Sumitomo LENTIGO is a next-generation pre-emergence herbicide developed by
Sumitomo Chemical Corporation, Japan, exclusively for paddy crops. Powered by a
dual mode of action combination of Imazosulfuron and Pretilachlor, Lentigo delivers
effective broad-spectrum weed control during the critical early stages of crop growth.
Its granular formulation ensures easy handling and uniform application. A single application
provides long-lasting weed control, supports better tillering, and ensures a healthy, weed-free start
for higher rice yields.
🧪 Technical Composition
Imazosulfuron 1% + Pretilachlor 8% GR
⚙️ Mode of Action
Lentigo works through a dual mode of action. Imazosulfuron inhibits amino acid synthesis
in weeds, while Pretilachlor interferes with cell division and growth. Together, they provide effective,
long-lasting, and resistance-managed weed control.
