Advanced herbicide technology ensures superior weed management and crop protection with a single spray
Lucknow : Corteva Agriscience has announced the launch of its latest breakthrough solution, Pixxaro®, designed specifically for controlling broadleaf weeds (BLWs) in wheat crops across India. Combining Arylex™ Active and Fluroxypyr, this post-emergent pre-mix herbicide provides reliable and long-lasting control over tough broadleaf weeds while ensuring exceptional crop safety, thereby helping wheat growers protect both yield potential and grain quality.
Uncontrolled broadleaf weeds compete with wheat plants for nutrients, moisture, and sunlight, significantly reducing productivity. Studies — including research published by the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) — indicate that unchecked BLW infestations can reduce wheat yields by up to 36%. Despite this, broadleaf weed management often receives less attention than narrowleaf weeds like Phalaris minor, leading to recurring infestations, multiple herbicide sprays, and in some cases, crop damage due to chemical overuse.
Pixxaro® redefines broadleaf weed control by offering comprehensive and consistent performance in a single spray, effectively targeting stubborn species such as Chenopodium album, Rumex dentatus, and Medicago denticulata. Its advanced formulation performs reliably even under challenging conditions like fog or variable temperatures and is suitable for use across diverse agro-climatic zones.
Extensive field demonstrations and research trials conducted across India’s major wheat-growing states have confirmed Pixxaro®’s robust crop safety profile, strong weed suppression, and significant reduction in weed regrowth. The product provides broad-spectrum control against even the most persistent BLW species that often require multiple treatments with conventional herbicides.
Highlighting Corteva’s ongoing commitment to sustainable farming, the company emphasized that farmer education and safety remain top priorities. Corteva continues to promote responsible usage practices through training programs, awareness campaigns, and the dissemination of best agronomic methods to ensure environmental safety and regulatory compliance.
Commenting on the launch, a Corteva Agriscience spokesperson said, “Pixxaro® reflects Corteva’s continued commitment to science-driven agricultural innovation. With its advanced herbicide chemistry, it provides farmers with an efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible solution to protect their wheat crops and enhance profitability.”
With the introduction of Pixxaro®, Corteva Agriscience strengthens its leadership in science-based crop protection solutions, reinforcing its mission to deliver technologies that safeguard both crop health and farmer livelihoods in India’s rapidly evolving agricultural landscape.
