Vivaya Herbicide: Active Chemistry, Soybean Weeds, and Care

Vivaya is an advanced selective post-emergence herbicide manufactured by BASF specifically for soybean weed control. Formulated with a synergistic blend of active ingredients, it delivers broad-spectrum suppression against both annual grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds in standing soybean crops under CIBRC standards.

Last reviewed: 10 November 2026

Dual Active Chemistry and Spectrum of Control

Vivaya combines complementary modes of action engineered to manage tough weed complexes that escape single-molecule herbicides. Its active molecules penetrate weed foliage rapidly, translocating systemically to growing points to stop vegetative competition.

Soybean exhibits excellent physiological tolerance, breaking down the chemical rapidly without suffering vegetative stunting.

  • Grassy weeds: Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, and Dactyloctenium aegyptium.
  • Broadleaf weeds: Commelina benghalensis, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, and Digera arvensis.
  • Dual control: Eliminates the need for tank-mixing separate graminicides and broadleaf weedkillers.
  • Application window: Applied post-emergence at 15 to 25 days after sowing when target weeds have 2 to 4 leaves.

Field Application Guidelines and Stewardship

Optimal weed mortality requires applying Vivaya when target weeds are small, actively photosynthesizing, and adequately hydrated by soil moisture.

Uniform droplet deposition ensures complete foliage contact without spray drift onto adjacent sensitive crops.

  • Apply using flat fan or floodjet nozzles fitted to a calibrated knapsack or tractor-mounted boom sprayer.
  • Ensure adequate soil moisture is present; do not apply under drought conditions or during prolonged waterlogging.
  • Respect the registered pre-harvest interval (PHI) and wear personal protective gear during all mixing and application procedures.

Common questions

Which crop is Vivaya herbicide primarily designed for?

Vivaya is specifically designed for selective post-emergence weed management in soybean crops.

Does Vivaya control both grasses and broadleaf weeds?

Yes, its combination chemistry provides simultaneous control over major grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds in a single spray.

When is the best time to spray Vivaya in soybean fields?

Apply early post-emergence, approximately 15 to 25 days after sowing when weeds are at the 2 to 4 leaf stage.
