RAPTURE™

RAPTURE™

Ag Bio-Herbicide Paraquat-Like Performance

  • Provides synthetic-level burn-down performance.
  • Non-selective control of grasses, broadleaves, and suckers.
  • Leaves zero synthetic residues.

Overview

Rapture™ Herbicide is a naturally derived, broad-spectrum contact bioherbicide formulated from plant-based and naturally sourced active ingredients designed to rapidly control emerged weeds and unwanted vegetation. The formulation utilizes naturally occurring botanical extracts, and plant-derived emulsification technology to provide fast burndown activity with enhanced coverage and plant surface interaction.

Use Patterns & Crops

Rapture™ works through contact activity by disrupting plant cell membranes and rapidly desiccating exposed plant tissue, resulting in visible effects shortly after application under favorable environmental conditions. The formulation is intended for use in agricultural, horticultural, turf, ornamental, industrial, bare-ground, and non-crop applications where naturally derived vegetation management solutions are desired.

Rapture™ may be applied as a broadcast, spot, directed, shielded, or trim application using conventional spray equipment. Optimal performance is achieved on young, actively growing weeds with complete spray coverage. Environmental conditions such as warm temperatures, sunlight, and active plant growth may enhance speed and efficacy of control.

Typical target vegetation includes:

  • Annual broadleaf weeds
  • Young annual grasses
  • Moss and algae
  • Escaped vegetation in row middles and field borders
  • Vegetation around hardscapes, fence lines, and non-crop areas

Rapture™ is a non-selective contact herbicide and should be applied carefully to avoid contact with desirable plants or green tissue. Because the product acts through contact activity with minimal residual soil persistence, repeat applications may be required for control of perennial or well-established vegetation.

Technology Snapshot

Rapture™ Herbicide is built upon proprietary and patented naturally derived formulation technology designed to improve the performance, stability, delivery, and consistency of botanical herbicidal compounds. The platform integrates naturally sourced fatty acids, plant-derived actives, and advanced emulsification systems to create a highly stable and effective contact herbicide formulation.

The technology incorporates patented encapsulation and nanoemulsion principles developed to enhance the physical behavior and biological performance of naturally derived active ingredients. Through advanced formulation engineering, the technology creates highly uniform micro- and nano-scale droplet structures that improve spreading, adhesion, surface interaction, and retention on plant tissue.

Unlike conventional botanical herbicides that often experience rapid evaporation, poor leaf adhesion, instability, or inconsistent field performance, the Rapture™ technology platform is designed to:

  • Improve droplet uniformity and spray coverage
  • Enhance adhesion to waxy and hydrophobic plant surfaces
  • Increase contact efficiency and plant surface interaction
  • Reduce volatility and rapid evaporation of botanical actives
  • Improve storage and temperature stability
  • Maintain formulation consistency during handling and application
  • Support improved rainfastness and retention characteristics

The patented formulation platform utilizes naturally derived emulsification and stabilization systems that allow hydrophobic botanical compounds to remain uniformly dispersed within water-based spray systems while maintaining long-term physical stability.
