Weeds are one of the most common challenges that rice farmers in Inda face. This is due to the different seeding methods and the geographical diversity in which the crop is grown. Weeds are responsible for poor harvests as they compete with new tillers and take away nutrients. For effective weed control and to prevent rice crops from being damaged, farmers must use rice herbicides early on. Here’s where Bayer India’s COUNCIL activ comes in.
COUNCIL activ is an effective herbicide to manage weeds from the beginning of the crop. It is a combination of two innovative active ingredients, triafamone and ethoxysulfuron, giving foliar and soil-based activity to manage weeds for a longer time.
COUNCIL activ is a post-emergence herbicide that provides effective control of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in rice crops. It is a combination of triafamone (20%) and ethoxysulfuron (10%).
Triafamone swiftly targets weeds, inhibiting their growth. Ethoxysulfuron, absorbed through leaves, disrupts weed growth systemically.
When the COUNCIL activ herbicide is applied, triafamone enters weeds through the roots and leaves and rapidly changes into a different form by reducing the keto group. In contrast to rice, weeds use a process known as N-demethylation to create a second material that potently inhibits the activity of acetolactate synthase (ALS).
For susceptible weeds, ethoxysulfuron is mostly absorbed through their leaves. It then moves within the plant and powerfully stops the action of acetolactate synthase (ALS). ALS is responsible for plant’s growth; when the action of ALS is stopped by triafamone and ethoxysulfuron, the weed plants are killed.
