Prevention, eradication, and control of weeds through controlled use include limiting invasion, suppressing growth, preventing seed production, and total destruction. As a result, controlling weeds is one component of weed management.
Weed control is a type of pest control that tries to stop or reduce the growth of weeds, especially noxious weeds, to make them less of a threat to desired flora and fauna, such as domesticated plants and livestock, and to keep non-native species from competing with native species in natural settings.
Because weeds reduce yields, raise production costs, impede harvest, and lower product quality, controlling weeds is essential to agriculture.
Weeds also prevent irrigation water from flowing, hinder the application of pesticides, and harbor disease organisms. Pulling, digging, disking, plowing, and mowing are examples of these techniques.
The life cycle of the target weed species determines how well various mechanical control methods work. On annual and biennial species like kochia, musk thistle, and diffuse knapweed, hand pulling and digging are effective. The goal of management methods is to keep the number of weeds at a level that doesn’t hurt the quality or cost of growing the crop.
Since weeds play a role on the farm as well, the objective is not to completely eradicate all of them. Weeds, for instance, provide protection from soil erosion.
The Global Weed Management Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
In India, Corteva Agriscience introduces Novixid, an herbicide for controlling weeds in rice fields. At an event in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Corteva Agriscience introduced the brand-new herbicide Novixid. The day-long event in Hyderabad brought attention to the significance of weed management for increasing farmer profitability and productivity. NovixidTM was presented as the future technology.
During the cropping season, rice growers face a number of challenges, one of which is weed competition for the same nutrients and resources as young rice plants. The Novixid herbicide, a one-of-a-kind blend of Rinskor active, has proven to be extremely helpful in weed management.
Weeds that are resistant to ALS (acetolactate synthase), ACCase (acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase), and HPPD (hydrophenylpyruvate dioxygenase) inhibitor herbicides can be effectively controlled by this product.
Additionally, it has a favorable ecotoxicology and toxicology profile, which is beneficial to the environment and soil health. Because of this, NovixiD is a unique product that works well in water management environments and under a variety of conditions.
