Corteva Agriscience, a global pure-play agriculture company, launched its Novixid herbicide to manage weeds in rice fields

Corteva Agriscience, a global pure-play agriculture company, launched its Novixid herbicide to manage weeds in rice fields. The product’s fast-acting formula ensures healthy crop by minimizing crop weed competition resulting in increased productivity and farmer profitability.

Rice growers face many challenges, and weeds present a significant challenge as they compete for the same nutrition and resources young rice plants need. The Novixid rice herbicide’s unique combination of Rinskor active has proven very beneficial in weed management. The product effectively controls weeds that are tolerant to ALS (Acetolactate synthase), ACCase ( Acetyl- coenzyme A carboxylase), and HPPD ( Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) HPPD inhibitor herbicides as well. It also has a favourable toxicology and ecotoxicology profile which benefits soil health and the environment. This makes Novixid a distinctive product which performs across variable conditions and water management environments effectively.

With innovation at its core, Corteva creates solutions that deliver high-quality yields and long-term sustainability for farmers’ prosperity.
