Delhi – Corteva Agriscience announced the launch of Pixxaro®, a new broadleaf weed (BLW) control solution for wheat in India. A postemergent premix of Arylex™ active and Fluroxypyr, Pixxaro® is engineered to deliver strong, reliable control of tough BLWs with exceptional crop safety, helping wheat growers protect yield potential and quality.
BLWs in wheat, when left unmanaged, compete for nutrients, moisture, and light,
eroding yield. Research, including a paper published by Punjab Agricultural
University (PAU), indicates uncontrolled BLWs can reduce wheat yields by up to
36%. Despite this, BLW control is often deprioritized versus narrowleaf weeds like
Phalaris minor, leading to regrowth, repeat applications, and visible crop shock with
prevailing solutions.
Pixxaro® redefines BLW management with oneshot, broadspectrum efficacy on
problematic species including Chenopodium album, Rumex dentatus, and Medicago
denticulate. The advanced formulation provides consistent performance in
challenging conditions, including fog, supporting flexible application windows and
dependable results across diverse environments.
Extensive research and farmer demonstrations conducted across key wheat growing
states, confirmed an excellent crop safety profile with strong BLW suppression and
reduced regrowth. Pixxaro® provides excellent broadspectrum control of broadleaf
weeds in a single pass, effectively managing tough-to-control species that currently
require multiple solutions.
Corteva ensures responsible use through farmer stewardship initiatives, training, and
best‑practice guidance to ensure safe handling, regulatory compliance, and
environmental care. Pixxaro® furthers Corteva Agriscience’s commitment to
science‑driven crop protection solutions that safeguard crop health and grower
profitability.
