India is the world’s second largest producer of both rice and tea crops. However, the control of problematic weeds is one of the key challenges for farmers growing rice and tea in India, preventing them from harvesting high-quality produce. BASF has now launched two new herbicides, Facet and Duvelon, to support rice and tea farmers in India safeguard their crops from invasive weeds.
Facet is formulated for application in rice fields, and the formulation of Duvelon is optimized for the use in tea plantations. These latest innovations offer farmers in India a reliable solution for weed management. “We are proud to offer growers in India two innovative herbicides, Facet for rice and Duvelon for tea.
These novel herbicides in India are a testament to BASF’s commitment to innovation and sustainability of Indianagriculture,” said Rajendra Velagala, Business Director, Agricultural Solutions, South Asia. We are convinced that by providing farmers with effective and sustainable solutions, we can support them to meet the growing demand for food while reducing the impact on the environment, he added.
