Bayer Receives Approval for Alion Herbicide
14 April 2011 The non-selective herbicide Alion (active ingredient indaziflam) from Bayer CropScience has been granted regulatory approval in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to a press release.
Alion was developed primarily for use in perennial crops such as citrus, tree nut, grapes, pome and stone fruit. Bayer CropScience anticipates global annual peak sales of products based on indaziflam of more than EUR 150 million. Alion controls a broad spectrum of weeds. It can be used preemergent and applied alone or in a tank mix with other herbicides, e.g. in conjunction with post-emergent herbicides, according to Bayer.
The market launch of Alion in the United States is planned later this year. Further registrations for Alion are expected in Central and South America in 2011.
