Strengthening Yuan Hits Chinese Exports

Over the past month, two herbicides, glyphosate and dicamba, have ended up with lawsuits filed in a pair of states.

Missouri Department of Agriculture ‘takes proactive measures to reduce off-target crop injury during the 2018 growing season.’

Colorado Wheat Research Foundation, Inc., Albaugh, LLC and Limagrain Cereal Seeds, LLC have announced the release of the first two new herbicide-tolerant CoAXium Wheat Production System varieties.

Monsanto Co. says it has joined a coalition of U.S. farm groups in a lawsuit against the state of California to stop a requirement for cancer warnings on products containing glyphosate.

Other newer herbicides, too, are poised to expand growers’ options as weed resistance struggles show no signs of abating.

The EU license for glyphosate is set to expire on Dec. 15.

Nufarm will acquire FMC’s SU-class herbicides and Florasulam.

Changes will prohibit dicamba use in Arkansas between April 16 and Oct. 31.

In just one month, the price of glyphosate technical shot up from $3,614/MT to $4,066/MT, while glufosinate-ammonium increased from $24,849/MT to $26,355-27,108U/MT, according to China-based firm Siembo Consulting Co. Ltd.
