FMC Launches Ambriva Herbicide for Wheat Farmers in India
Ambriva herbicide features the Isoflex active ingredient, a novel group 13 herbicide that helps manage resistance in cereal crops. It provides early post-emergence knock-down activity and residual control against the resistant weed Phalaris minor, crucial for protecting wheat during critical growth periods. FMC India reports that Ambriva has shown consistent effectiveness in trials across multiple seasons, addressing the challenges wheat farmers face from this destructive weed, particularly in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
Ambriva herbicide features Isoflex active, a group 13 herbicide, which is a novel mode of action in cereal crops and provides Indian farmers with a new tool for resistance management. Studies have shown that Ambriva herbicide, formulated with both Isoflex active and Metribuzin, demonstrates early post-emergence knock-down activity and residual control against Phalaris minor, also known as ‘Gulli danda’ or ‘Mandoosi’, protecting wheat during the critical crop-weed competition period.
“Wheat farmers in Punjab, Haryana and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan face significant challenges from Phalaris minor,” said Ravi Annavarapu, FMC India, and South-West Asia President. “Over the past few decades, this destructive weed has developed resistance to multiple herbicide chemistries, which has impacted crop yields, leaving farmers with limited options. FMC’s introduction of Ambriva herbicide brings Indian farmers an innovative solution to address resistance challenges.”
Ambriva herbicide has been rigorously tested on wheat over multiple seasons in India and has demonstrated significant and consistent performance against Phalaris minor and key grass weeds.
