After years of research and public comments from the agriculture community, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler declared triazines safe for continued use in controlling resilient weeds, according to the Corn Growers Association.
It controls a spectrum of weeds including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, pigweed, nightshade, lambsquarters, kochia, morningglories, smartweed, foxtail, barnyard grass and fall panicum.
A recently released World Health Organization (WHO) document has recommended a drinking water standard of 100 parts per billion, up from the previous WHO standard of two parts per billion.
The first confirmed case of weeds resistant to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides has been found in waterhemp in Illinois, according to University of Illinois weed scientists.
A battle is brewing in the corn and sorghum fields of Kansas and across the U.S, where farmers have applied the herbicide atrazine to kill broadleaf and grassy weeds for decades.
Despite the fact that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials estimate that growing corn without atrazine could cost no-tillers as much as $28 an acre due to reduced yields and the need for more expensive herbicides, you might be in danger of losing this long-term weed control chemical product.
