BASF officially launches Provisia^® Herbicide-Tolerant Rice System in China, supporting farmers with an innovative alternative rice cultivation system

BASF and Anhui Winall High-Tech Seed Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Winall”) jointly launched the Provisia^® Herbicide-Tolerant Rice System in China. This system consists of two core components: herbicide Provisia (300g/L quizalofop-p-ethyl) developed by BASF, and two quizalofop-p-ethyl-tolerant rice varieties, Quanyou 822 and Huiliangyou 898, bred by Winall. BASF’s Provisia is the first quizalofop-p-ethyl chemistry to obtain registration on herbicide-tolerant rice varieties in China. This scientific combination precisely addresses the weed control challenges of farmers as they practice direct-seeded rice cultivation. The implementation of Provisia rice system will significantly reduce labor costs, and injects efficient and carbon-reducing impetus into large-scale wet paddy rice farmers to consider the alternate solution of dry-direct seeded rice cultivation.
