Biotech firm Biostadt introduces 'Pyankor,' a novel post-emergent herbicide for rice farmers
Introducing Pyankor: A Game-Changer for Paddy Farmers
Biostadt India Limited has unveiled a new herbicide named 'Pyankor', a next-generation post-emergent solution designed specifically for paddy farmers to combat weeds after the crop has emerged.
Pyankor offers several key benefits for paddy cultivation. It provides effective post-emergent weed control, targeting emerging weeds in the paddy fields, helping to ensure the crop is not overrun by competing plants early in the growing cycle. This could potentially lead to an improvement in yield potential since weeds compete with paddy for nutrients, sunlight, and water; better weed control supports healthier crop growth and ultimately better harvests.
The herbicide simplifies weed management by providing a chemical solution that can be applied after crop emergence, a critical factor because many traditional herbicides are used only pre-emergence or pre-planting. As a product launched by Biostadt India Limited, Pyankor represents technological advancement catering to the specific weed pressures and agronomic conditions faced by Indian paddy farmers.
While detailed information on the active ingredients and broader agronomic impact of Pyankor is not extensively available, its classification as a "next-generation post-emergent herbicide" indicates that it likely offers improved selectivity, efficacy, and possibly an extended window for application compared to older herbicides.
Pyankor is formulated to combat a wide range of weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broad-leaf species. The premium-quality adjuvant in Pyankor ensures uniform spreading on weed surfaces, and the herbicide is rainfast, ensuring its effectiveness even during rainfall. Visible yellowing of weeds occurs within 3 to 5 days after applying Pyankor.
The recommended application rate for Pyankor in paddy farming is 240 ml per acre. Full control over weed growth is typically achieved in 7 to 14 days after applying Pyankor, with weed growth halting within 24 hours of application.
Key participants at the launch event, held in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, included Biostadt's senior leadership, channel partners, and international collaborators from LG Chem Life Sciences, South Korea.
In summary, Pyankor benefits paddy farmers by providing efficient, targeted post-emergent control of weeds, thereby helping protect yields and reducing manual weeding efforts. For comprehensive guidance, farmers should reference Biostadt's official product literature or consult local agricultural extension services.
Science and technology are integrated in Pyankor, a next-generation post-emergent solution designed for paddy farmers. As a product launched by Biostadt India Limited, Pyankor represents advancements in science and technology, offering improved selectivity, efficacy, and possibly an extended window for application compared to older herbicides.
