Novelty Gold (Crystal Crop Protection) is a selective post-emergence herbicide containing the active ingredient Bispyribac Sodium 10% SC. It is specifically designed to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in rice crops, both in the nursery and main field.

Key Features of Novelty Gold (Crystal Crop Protection):

  • Broad-spectrum broadleaf weed control: Effectively controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including Echinochloa colona, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus iria, Leptochloa chinensis, and Fimbristylis miliacea.

  • Selective action: Novelty Gold is selective for rice crops, providing effective weed control without harming the desired crop.

  • Systemic action: Novelty Gold is absorbed by the plant and translocated within its tissues, providing control of both above-ground and below-ground parts of the weed.

  • Safe for the environment: Novelty Gold is considered safe for the environment and has a low impact on beneficial insects and non-target organisms.

Benefits of using Novelty Gold (Crystal Crop Protection):

  • Enhanced crop yield and quality: By controlling weeds that compete with rice for nutrients and sunlight, Novelty Gold promotes better crop growth and yield, leading to improved productivity and quality.

  • Reduced weed pressure: Effective weed management reduces the overall weed population in the field, minimizing competition and improving crop performance.

  • Integrated weed management: Novelty Gold can be incorporated into integrated weed management (IWM) programs for effective weed control in rice crops.

Application:

Novelty Gold is applied as a post-emergence foliar spray. The recommended application rate is 300 ml per acre, and the timing is 15-25 days after transplanting. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions.

Precautions:

  • Use only as directed: Follow the label instructions carefully and use Novelty Gold only on crops and weeds as specified.

  • Prevent spray drift: Avoid drift to non-target crops and sensitive areas by using appropriate spraying techniques and adjusting nozzles.

  • Wear protective gear: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and long-sleeved clothing, when handling Novelty Gold.

  • Minimize exposure: Wash thoroughly after handling Novelty Gold and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

  • Safe storage and disposal: Store Novelty Gold in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from food, feed, and children's reach. Dispose of empty containers according to local regulations.

Always read and follow the label instructions carefully before using Novelty Gold (Crystal Crop Protection).
