Facet is a pioneering solution powered by BASF’s Quinclorac in a specialized formulation. It has a different mode of action than many prevailing rice herbicides and is an efficient tank mix partner for overall weed management in direct seeded and transplanted rice. Duvelon powered by Kixor Active is an innovative solution for effective weed management in tea.
It helps to control a variety of broadleaf weeds, including those that have become a severe menace due to their tolerance to conventional herbicides. Rajendra Velagala, Business Director, Agricultural Solutions, South Asia said, “We are convinced that by providing farmers with effective and sustainable solutions, we can support them to meet the growing demand for food while reducing the impact on the environment.”
