In just a few short years, the CLEARFIELD® Production System for rice has proven its value to U.S. rice growers who now plant it on over a third of all rice acres in the Southern rice-growing states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri. The reasons behind its success?The CLEARFIELD Production System for rice offers consistent value and convenience. The combination of high performing CLEARFIELD rice varieties along with the exceptional effectiveness of BASF herbicides to control red rice and other tough weeds delivers unparalleled benefits to rice growers. Those benefits just keep getting better through continued research and commitment to stewardship. Read on to see how. Innovative herbicide option delivers broad-spectrum weed control.The 2006 introduction of Clearpath™ herbicide from BASF brings even broader spectrum weed control to rice. Combining the effectiveness of Newpath® herbicide and Facet® herbicide into one convenient premix, Clearpath provides the broadest spectrum control of all CLEARFIELD Production System rice herbicides, so it’s easier than ever to help protect your crop from yield-robbing weeds. Sustainable technology by strong stewardship.Vigilant stewardship is vital to the protection of the CLEARFIELD Production System for rice and its value to rice growers. The genetics of rice and the red rice weed are incredibly close. That means there’s potential to move the CLEARFIELD resistance gene into red rice. The most effective way to prevent this is to always plant certified, red-rice-free seed – NOT saved seed – and get the best control possible of red rice in the field. University experts strongly agree that harvested CLEARFIELD Production System for rice seed should not be saved for planting. Most growers also understand the value of stewardship guidelines that protect the technology, allowing them to produce a better rice crop wherever red rice has limited their production. Key stewardship guidelines include:
