Nufarm Launches Novel Herbicide Technology to Control Challenging Weeds in Cereals
Nufarm Canada signals a new era in crop protection with the launch of its proprietary Duplosan-powered suite of cereal herbicides, reports Krishak Jagat. This first-in-market, novel pipeline of solutions will help farmers turn the tide against challenging weeds in cereals including resistant kochia. The result of research and innovation led by Nufarm and its extensive field work in Western Canada, the team has unlocked new potential with Duplosan, the foundation of Nufarm’s quest to find the “Path of Least Resistance” for growers. The unique technology is showing extremely positive results as a novel chemistry that hasn’t been exposed to most weed populations in western Canada, specifically kochia.
The first in the new suite of products – Oxbow – is a complete and easy solution in the fight against managing hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds including kochia in cereals. Powered by Duplosan technology, it’s the most efficient and effective way to solve today’s biggest weed control challenges, backed by flexible re-cropping and application timing. Oxbow will be available in western Canada for the 2024 growing season through preferred Nufarm agriculture retailers.
“As resistant weeds like kochia have accelerated in recent years, expanding to new soil zones, the current herbicide toolbox is just not keeping pace,” says Boyd Bergstrom, Nufarm Canada country lead. In their quest to find new solutions, Nufarm researchers rediscovered dichlorprop-p — an active ingredient that was first used decades ago as an additive to 2,4-D when dichlorprop’s unique properties largely remained unexplored and its full potential was never unlocked.
