DuPont Crop Protection Introduces New Herbicide Afforia
15 August 2014 
After receiving registration approval from the EPA, DuPont Crop Protection has introduced DuPont Afforia herbicide, a preplant herbicide for soybeans and other field crops that provides burndown and residual control of many weeds.
Afforia can be tank-mixed with glyphosate and/or 2,4-D LVE for cross-spectrum burndown before planting. Field trials show Afforia provides effective burndown of winter annuals, dandelions and volunteer canola, and residual control of herbicide-resistant broadleaf weeds, including lambsquarters, pigweed species and waterhemp.
Afforia is a premix formulation with two modes of action and three AIs for consistent control of weeds and herbicide resistance management.
“Naturally occurring resistant weed populations can happen when herbicides affecting a single site of action on a targeted weed species are applied year after year on the same field,” says James Hay, DuPont Crop Protection business manager. “Those resistant biotypes can survive the next herbicide application, even when done correctly.
DuPont Afforia herbicide is not available for sale or use in all states.
