Corteva Agriscience today unveiled Pixxaro, a next-generation broadleaf weed (BLW) control solution for wheat in India, marking a strategic step in precision crop protection.

A post-emergent pre-mix of Arylex active and Fluroxypyr, Pixxaro is engineered for strong, reliable suppression of challenging BLWs, offering wheat growers superior crop safety while safeguarding yield potential and grain quality.

“Unmanaged broadleaf weeds compete aggressively for nutrients, moisture, and light, eroding yields by up to 36 per cent in some cases, according to research from Punjab Agricultural University,” a company spokesperson noted. “Despite this, BLW management often takes a backseat to narrow-leaf weeds, leaving farmers to contend with regrowth, repeated applications, and crop stress.”

Pixxaro addresses these challenges with broad-spectrum efficacy in a single pass, targeting stubborn species such as Chenopodium album, Rumex dentatus, and Medicago denticulate. Its advanced formulation delivers consistent performance even under challenging conditions, including fog, providing flexibility in application timing across diverse wheat-growing environments.

Field trials and farmer demonstrations across key wheat regions confirmed Pixxaro’s excellent crop safety profile, strong BLW suppression, and minimal regrowth. By consolidating multiple interventions into a single, reliable solution, Pixxaro reduces operational complexity for growers while protecting both yield and quality.

Corteva complements the product launch with stewardship initiatives, offering training and guidance on safe handling, regulatory compliance, and environmental best practices. Pixxaro reinforces Corteva Agriscience’s commitment to science-driven crop protection that delivers measurable outcomes for farmers while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

With Pixxaro, Corteva aims to reshape BLW management in India, offering wheat farmers a powerful tool to secure productivity, reduce input complexity, and future-proof their crops against evolving agronomic challenges.
