Nine days after the application of this mixture, the resistant barnyard grass all died and only left rice seedlings alive.

Moreover, field trials which were conducted in Jiangsu Province revealed that metamifop 10% + cyhalofop-butyl 10% EC can effectively prevent and kill white-root barnyard grass, crabgrass and digitaria chrysoblephara in the paddy field.
