It was applied at the rate of 25, 50, 75 and 100 mL/100 L respectively. The results revealed that foliar spray of this agro- chemical on rice crop did not produce any significant effect on the general growth parameters but increased the num- ber of grains/panicle. The residues of fantac were found to be 0.05 μg/g at the time of harvest which are below MRL and thus Fantac can be considered as environmentally safe.

Introduction the harvest time residues of this biostimulant in paddy (grain, straw, husk) and soil with a view to ensure human and environmental safety. Biostimulants are referred to as positive plant growth regulators or metabolic enhancers which when applied in small quantities enhance the growth and overall devel- op
