Biostadt Launches ‘Pyankor’ – New Post-Emergent Herbicide for Paddy Farmers
21 May 2025, New Delhi: Biostadt India Limited has launched its latest innovation, ‘Pyankor’, a new-generation herbicide designed to provide effective weed control for paddy farmers. The official launch took place in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, in the presence of Biostadt’s senior leadership team, channel partners, and international collaborators from LG Chem Life Sciences, South Korea.
‘Pyankor’ contains the active ingredient Pyribenzoxim 5% EC and is specially formulated as a post-emergent herbicide for paddy crops. It is highly effective against a broad spectrum of weeds including grasses, sedges, and broad-leaf weeds. The product is designed for quick action – it gets absorbed into the weed surface within just 30 minutes of application. Weed growth stops within 24 hours, yellowing begins in 3 to 5 days, and complete weed control is typically achieved within 7 to 14 days of use.
One of the standout features of Pyankor is its rainfast capability, thanks to a high-quality adjuvant that ensures even spread on the weed surface and protects the formulation from being washed away during rainfall. The recommended dosage for farmers is 240 ml per acre, making it both effective and economical.
During the event, Mr. Huzefa Khorakiwala, Chief Executive Director of Biostadt India Limited, spoke about the company’s mission to deliver world-class agricultural technologies to Indian farmers. He emphasized that Pyankor reflects Biostadt’s commitment to innovation and global collaboration, especially in partnership with LG Chem Life Sciences.
The launch event was attended by key members of Biostadt’s leadership, including Mr. Gokul Dafale (Executive Vice President), Mr. Santosh Rane (GM, Pesticide), Mr. Hanif Sayyad (Head of Development), Mr. Mahesh Sonwane (Head of Field and Digital Marketing), Mr. Chetan Khairnar (Senior Product Manager), Mr. Prabhat Kumar Yadav (Zonal Head), Mr. Kranti Tiwari (Regional Manager), Mr. Suraj Singh (Field Marketing Manager), and Mr. Praful Rathore (Development Team). Representatives from LG Chem Life Sciences, Mr. Hack Yong (Vice President) and Mr. Yun Ju Park (Team Leader), were also present and expressed their excitement about working with Biostadt to bring advanced herbicide solutions to Indian agriculture.
