Novlect Herbicide

Novlect™ Herbicide (Florpyrauxifen-benzyl 2.13% + Cyhalofop-butyl 10.64% EC)

Novlect Herbicide is a systemic, selective, post-emergence rice herbicide formulated for effective control of important grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in rice. It combines Florpyrauxifen-benzyl 2.13% + Cyhalofop-butyl 10.64% EC, providing two complementary modes of action for broad-spectrum weed management.

Novlect is suitable for both transplanted rice and direct-seeded rice (DSR). It is designed to target actively growing weeds during the early crop stage, helping reduce competition for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space.
