Levider Herbicide

Levider Herbicide containing Pyrithiobac Sodium 10% EC

Levider Herbicide is a selective post-emergence herbicide formulated with Pyrithiobac Sodium 10% EC for weed management in cotton. It is designed to control important broadleaf weeds and selected sedges during the early stages of weed growth, helping reduce competition for water, nutrients, sunlight, and space.

Its selective action makes Levider Herbicide for Cotton a practical option for managing weeds in standing cotton when applied according to the product label. The formulation is particularly relevant for fields affected by weeds such as Amaranthus, Trianthema, Digera, and Commelina.

Product Overview

Key Benefits

• Broadleaf Weed Control: Compete with cotton plants for essential resources.
• Selective Weed Management: Formulated as a selective herbicide for cotton
• Early Post-Emergence Application: Applied after weeds emerge, particularly when susceptible weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage.
• Helps Reduce Crop Competition: For moisture, nutrients, sunlight, and growing space.
• Supports Better Crop Establishment: Can support healthier crop development.

Mode of Action

Levider Herbicide contains Pyrithiobac Sodium, an ALS-inhibiting herbicide. It interferes with the ALS enzyme involved in the production of essential amino acids in susceptible weeds. As a result, weed growth is stopped and affected weeds gradually decline.

The product is intended for post-emergence weed control in cotton and should be used only at the recommended dose and crop stage.
