Dow AgroSciences announced that it received US registration for its new Powerflex (pyroxsulam) herbicide for use in winter wheat.

In a company release, Dow said that Powerflex provides control of tough grass weeds including downy brome, cheat, Italian ryegrass, and wild oats, Russian thistle, pigweed, chickweed, and cleavers, as well as many mustard species, such as field pennycress, flixweed (tansy mustard), shepherdspurse, Jim Hill (tumble) mustard and blue mustard.

“Powerflex gives performance that winter wheat growers can count on by delivering excellent control of the toughest grass weeds they face today, plus control of many other important grass and broadleaf weeds,” said Jim Parker, senior marketing specialist for Dow AgroSciences.
