Improves Yield Potential

Orthosulfamuron, the active ingredient in Strada, has been extensively tested for six years by independent and university researchers in the U.S. and worldwide.

This research confirms that Strada offers a high degree of crop safety when compared to other popular rice herbicides. The performance data below demonstrates the crop safety of Strada and its positive effect on yields.
