Why Use Novali SC?

  • Start cleaner before weeds take the wheel
    Novali SC helps growers target weeds before they emerge, supporting cleaner starts during the critical early-season window when weed competition can reduce crop momentum.
  • Build a strong residual foundation
    Pyroxasulfone provides residual activity on key grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. Novali SC fits into preemergence and early postemergence residual weed control programs where labeled.
  • Support resistance management programs
    As a Group 15 herbicide, Novali SC can support diversified weed management programs in sound agronomic planning. It is not a standalone resistance management solution.
  • NOVALI SC is a valuable alternative to the ever growing weed resistance management programs to the most commonly used solutions glyphosate, ALS and PPOS. Its extended residual effect allows as well to control several flushes of weed emergence, contributing to reduce the weed pressure and seed bank for the comming seasons  
  • Added formulation-driven value
    Powered by SESGAMA Formulation Technology, Novali SC delivers retailers, consultants, and growers a high-load liquid pyroxasulfone option based on ADAMA’s value innovation platform. Novali SC offers 40% more active ingredient per gallon. 

Where Novali SC Fits

Novali SC fits as a residual herbicide workhorse in weed control programs where growers need early-season activity on labeled grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. It is part of a complete weed control program, not as a silver bullet.
