Godrej Agrovet Launches Ashitaka Herbicide for Maize
Godrej Agrovet has introduced Ashitaka, a new weed-killing product, for corn farmers.
It's made with help from ISK Japan and designed to stop weeds that steal nutrients from the corn.
This product is for use when the weeds are small.
It helps farmers grow more corn, which is important because corn is used for animal food, making products, and even fuel.
Farmers face challenges like bad weather and pests.
Godrej Agrovet launched Ashitaka, a new herbicide for maize crops.
Ashitaka, developed with ISK Japan, targets grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
The herbicide is designed for application at the two- to four-leaf stage of weeds.
Effective weed management can lead to higher yields and farmer profitability.
India is a major maize producer globally, facing challenges like climate change.
