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.

Crops:

• Rice (Direct-seeded and Transplanted)

Target Weeds:

Vivaya provides effective control of key weeds in rice, including:

• Grasses: Barnyardgrass, Jungle rice, Sprangletop

• Broadleaf Weeds: Alligatorweed

• Sedges: Smallflower Umbrella sedge

Dosage:

The recommended dosage of Vivaya is 2000-2250 ml/ha. However, always refer to the product label for specific instructions and recommendations for your region and weed spectrum.

Important Note:

• Always read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully.
