Herbicides, usually referred to as weed killers, are chemicals used to manage undesirable plants, or weeds. Non-selective herbicides can be used to clear waste ground, industrial and construction sites, railways, and railway embankments because they kill all plant material with which they come into contact. Selective herbicides control specific weed species while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed.
The terms persistence (also known as residual action: how long the product stays in place and is active), means of uptake (whether it is absorbed by above-ground foliage only, through the roots, or by other means), and mechanism of action are additionally significant distinctions in addition to selective/non-selective.
The India Herbicide market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
To assist Indian sugarcane farmers, FMC launched pre-emergent herbicide. In terms of sugarcane production, India is second only to Brazil. But weeds continue to be a significant crop loss problem for sugarcane growers every year, and managing different grasses and broadleaf weeds continues to be extremely difficult.
Depending on the type and quantity of various weed species infesting the fields, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research -Sugarcane Breeding Institute (ICAR – SBI) estimates that the decline in cane productivity ranges from 10% to as high as 70%.
During the crucial crop-weed competition time in sugarcane, the dual mode of action of Austral® herbicide provides a weed-free condition. This unique proprietary product solution creates a layer of defence on top of the soil, preventing weeds from sprouting during the crucial crop growth phase, resulting in a higher density of healthy tillers and, consequently, larger sugarcane yields.
Humans at FMC are devoted to bringing the newest technology from around the world and introducing cutting-edge, long-lasting solutions to the problems facing Indian farmers.
This commitment is supported by a robust R&D pipeline. A testament to their dedication to providing improved yield through technology-driven, scientific solutions is the release of Austral® herbicide for sugarcane producers. They are convinced that Austral® herbicide will increase the income of sugarcane growers by providing improved weed control and a better crop.
