Following numerous requests from the rice production sector, BASF announced, during the XI Brazilian Congress of Irrigated Rice (CBAI) in Balneário Camboriú, that it will return the herbicide Aura (profoxydim) to the Brazilian market. The announcement was made by Vitor Bernardes, BASF’s Rice and Wheat Marketing manager. The herbicide was removed from the market a few years ago.
Aura 是一种内吸性芽后选择性除草剂，可防治一年生禾本科植物，对多年生植物具有抑制作用。也推荐用于水稻种植。应用于叶面后，活性成分被迅速吸收，导致易位过程，在分生组织区域积累，产品迅速抑制 ACCase 酶，阻断脂质合成代谢途径的初始反应。这导致杂草生长停止。草的干燥在一到三周内完成。
