RiceTec presents Technology Rotation System for weed control in rice

Every year, rice producers in Brazil and around the world seek innovations and new technologies to increase productivity, grain quality and sustainably improve the profitability of their crops. To meet this demanding and competitive market, seed developers employ many years of research and investment in technology, in favor of cultivars that meet the demands of the field and the market.

RiceTec Sementes, a multinational that has been operating in the Brazilian market for over 20 years and is a leader in rice seed hybrids in South America, has been permanently investing in research to develop new products and technologies, such as FullPage technologies. and Max-Ace. The characteristics and benefits of FullPAge and Max-Ace technologies will be presented to the sector in a special live, which will take place this Tuesday (01/12), at 19pm, on the company's YouTube Channel. RiceTec's Research Director, Edgar Alonso Torres Toro, highlights that these new technologies place the company in an interesting position in the market, as in addition to developing genetics, it began developing traits for rice cultivation. He also remembers that it was an important challenge, as bringing new traits to the market is a process that requires knowledge, time and investment. "FullPage and Max-Ace are the vanguard of a series of new herbicide resistance characteristics that are being developed by the company. They enable greater ease in agronomic management and help in the rotation of active ingredients, the same hybrid will have several platforms of resistance to herbicides so that a producer can use the hybrid he knows, but still rotate active ingredients", explains the specialist. FullPage and Max-Ace FullPage hybrids represent a new generation of seeds with tolerance to herbicides from the Imidazolinones (IMI) chemical group for rice seeds. This improved the crop's response during herbicide applications under stressful growth conditions, increasing the expression of its genetic potential. This characteristic gives the producer the benefit of greater flexibility in the application of herbicides as well as the beginning of crop irrigation.

RiceTec's first products in South America with this technology are XP113 FP, XP739 FP and INOV FP - gaining the suffix FP (FullPage) - which refers to the company's own genes that confer tolerance to IMI herbicides. Max-Ace technology aims to meet the producer's needs, from weed control to productivity results. This technology has genetics that are tolerant to ACCase inhibitor herbicides, acting to control red rice and grasses resistant to ALS inhibitor herbicides. Currently, one of the main problems in rice crops is red rice, which no longer has an alternative control option and in recent years we have seen a substantial increase in grasses resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. With this new technology, the producer gains a very important tool and now has another possibility of rotation, now with a chemical group of herbicides. These materials, in addition to high production potential, also provide greater tolerance to diseases such as rice blast. Adama Agricultural Solutions, a world leader in agricultural solutions for crop protection, is a partner in the development of herbicides for both systems. FullPage and Max-Ace will provide rice producers with great flexibility in controlling rice weeds as well as providing better management of resistant species. The live takes place on December 1st from 19 pm. Participation is free, just access the RiceTec YouTube channel https://bit.ly/2J6cd6G
