Syngenta newest broadleaf herbicide for cereals will be named Talinor. The product contains bicyclopyrone, the company’s newest active ingredient combined with bromoxynil. Together, these two active ingredients provide standalone control of resistant and other tough-to-control broadleaf weeds, including kochia and Russian thistle. Syngenta anticipates EPA registration in late 2016, with first use targeted for the 2017 growing season.

“Talinor is a selective, post-emergence herbicide developed to control broadleaf weeds in all varieties of barley, spring wheat (including durum), and winter wheat,” said Gigi Arino, cereal herbicides product lead, Syngenta. “Talinor is an important tool for controlling troublesome weeds, particularly those that have become resistant to ALS-inhibitor and auxin herbicides.”

“Talinor delivers quick, efficient knockdown of damaging weeds to help protect yield and profit potential, while offering cereal growers a new tool to help manage weed resistance,” Arino said. “This new broadleaf herbicide will be an ideal fit for growers in North Dakota, and will also be available to growers in the surrounding Northern Plains states, as well as the Pacific Northwest.”
