Farmers have two more tools to help them fight against herbicide-resistant weeds in corn.
AMVAC announced what it considers the “next generation in weed resistance management” with Impact Core and Sinate Herbicide.
Lasting control
The first technology is Impact Core. Impact Core is a postemergence corn herbicide that controls grass and broadleaf weeds. This herbicide contains acetochlor, which controls weeds by inhibiting growth of seedling shoots.
Nathaniel Quinn, AMVAC marketing manager for corn, soybeans and sugarbeets, says that this new herbicide has an “industry-leading level” of acetochlor that will provide long-lasting residual weed control. It will help with the control of waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and giant ragweed.
“Impact Core fits the way you farm and delivers needed control across a wide range of field conditions,” Quinn says. It provides control across a range of weed densities, as early postemergence following a planned preplant or preemergence application.
“Additionally, it provides reliable delivery of needed control when wet conditions prevent a timely preplant or preemergence application,” he adds.
Safe on corn
The second technology from AMVAC is Sinate Herbicide. This new herbicide offers control of herbicide-resistant weeds in LibertyLink corn.
