The wet season has delayed crop development and post-emergence herbicide applications in many soybean fields, and there are some large giant ragweed waiting to be treated.

A number of producers and crop advisors have reported several cases of “yellow” soybeans this year.

Timely burndown herbicide applications in no-till fields are extremely important in protecting soybean yield.

BASF announced today the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration of a new active ingredient, Kixor herbicide, for use on a wide range of no-till crops and effective on more than 70 broadleaf weeds. Starting this fall, four formulations Powered by Kixor herbicide — Sharpen herbicide, OpTill herbicide, Integrity herbicide and Treevix herbicide — will be available to help growers tackle today’s weed control challenges in their fields.
