Corteva Agriscience® launches Novlect™, bringing farmers a new herbicide to control weed in rice fields
The new herbicide provides long-lasting weed control and protects crops throughout the growing season
June 21, 2023- Corteva Agriscience®, a global pure-play agriculture company, has launched Novlect™ an herbicide for controlling wide range of broadleaf, grassy weeds, and hard-to-kill species of weeds in rice fields.
Novlect™ rice herbicide’s unique combination of Rinskor® active has proven very beneficial in effective weed management including Direct Seeded Rice (DSR). It has a favourable toxicology and ecotoxicology profile which benefits soil health and the environment. Its advanced formulation allows for easy handling, mixing, and application, making Novlect™ a distinctive product that performs effectively across variable weather conditions and water management environments. The product effectively controls weeds that are resistant to ALS (Acetolactate synthase), ACCase (Acetyl- coenzyme A carboxylase), and HPPD (Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) HPPD inhibitor herbicides as well.
Sharing his experience on the results of using Novlect™ in his field, Mr. Shankar Nannilam, a rice farmer from Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu said, “Weeds are the biggest problem in my rice fields. I have used several combinations of herbicides in the past, but never got the desirable result. However, after using Novlect™, I noticed excellent weed control and a clean, healthy rice field”.
