Vivaya
Vivaya
Vivaya herbicide, from Corteva Agriscience, is a powerful tool for rice farmers in managing a broad spectrum of weeds. It offers a convenient and effective solution for weed control in both direct-seeded and transplanted rice.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Broad-spectrum control: Effectively controls a wide range of grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges in rice fields.
-
Dual Mode of Action: Contains two active ingredients with different modes of action: Penoxsulam (ALS inhibitor) and Cyhalofop-butyl (ACCase inhibitor). This dual action provides robust weed control and helps prevent the development of herbicide resistance.
-
Systemic Activity: Absorbed by the weeds and translocated throughout the plant, ensuring effective control of both emerged and developing weeds.
-
Unique OD Formulation: The Oil Dispersible (OD) formulation enhances solubility and absorption, leading to improved weed control.
-
Crop Safety: Safe for use on rice crops when applied according to the recommended guidelines.
-
Flexible Application: Can be used in both direct-seeded and transplanted rice.
Active Ingredients:
-
Penoxsulam 1.02%
-
Cyhalofop-butyl 5.1%
Mode of Action:
-
Penoxsulam: Inhibits Aceto Lactate Synthase (ALS), an enzyme essential for the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants, leading to the death of susceptible weeds.
-
Cyhalofop-butyl: Inhibits Acetyl co-enzyme A carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis in grasses, disrupting their growth and development.
