Nova Orysafe (Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl 6.7% EC)

Nova Orysafe is a selective, post-emergence herbicide used to control grassy weeds in various crops, including rice and soybean. It works by interfering with fatty acid synthesis in the weeds, disrupting their growth and killing them. The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and stems of the weeds and is systemic, meaning it moves throughout the plant.

DESCRIPTION:

Selective action: Nova Orysafe is designed to target grassy weeds without harming broadleaf crops.
Post-emergence: Nova Orysafe is applied after the weeds have emerged from the soil.
Systemic action: The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and stems and moves throughout the plant, including the roots.
Mechanism of action: It disrupts fatty acid synthesis in the actively growing parts of the weeds, preventing them
from developing properly.

Applications:

Rice: Nova Orysafe is commonly used in rice fields to control grassy weeds, particularly Echinochloa sp. (barnyard grass).
Soybean: Nova Orysafe can also be used in soybean crops to control grassy weeds.
Other crops: Nova Orysafe is used in various other crops to control grassy weeds, including cereals, grasslands, and non-crop areas.
Important considerations:
Application timing:The herbicide is typically applied when weeds are in the 2-5 leaf stage.
Combination with other herbicides: Nova Orysafe can be mixed with other herbicides, such as broadleaf herbicides, to provide complete weed control.
Water management: Maintaining a water depth of 2-3 inches for 5-7 days after application can improve the herbicide’s efficacy
