Hifit - Pretilachlor 50% EC - HPM
Status: Offline — product identity and statutory-pack verification required. HPM’s current official catalogue identifies Hifit as a selective rice herbicide containing Pretilachlor 50% EC, not as a plant growth promoter or biostimulant. The store’s 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L and 5 L variants match HPM-listed pack sizes. Before sale, verify every stocked pack’s trade name, registration and statutory panel, batch and dates, then classify the item under Herbicides. Use only on label-approved transplanted rice and follow the supplied Indian label.
Item description
HPM Hifit Pretilachlor 50% EC Herbicide
Status: Offline — product identity and statutory-pack verification required.
HPM’s current official catalogue identifies Hifit as a selective herbicide containing Pretilachlor 50% EC. It is not a plant growth promoter, fertiliser or biostimulant. This correction matters because Hifit must be described, stored, sold and used as a crop-protection pesticide. The store’s five variants correspond to pack sizes listed by HPM, but every physical pack should be checked before this listing is returned online.

How Hifit Works
HPM describes Hifit as a pre-emergence to early post-emergence rice herbicide. Pretilachlor is taken up mainly by the hypocotyls, mesocotyls and coleoptiles, and to a lesser extent by the roots, of germinating weeds. It belongs to HRAC/WSSA Group 15, the group associated with inhibition of very-long-chain fatty-acid processes. This interrupts early weed growth. Use the mode-of-action group as a stewardship reference, not as permission to create an unapproved tank mix or spray sequence.

Do not extend this use to direct-seeded rice, another crop or a weed not authorised on the current supplied label.
