BASF Submits Dossiers for Two Herbicides

BASF on Wednesday launched its Engenia Herbicide Spray Tool to help growers make on-target applications.

In 2018, the Agricultural Solutions segment will be strengthened with the acquisition of significant parts of Bayer’s seed and herbicide businesses.

BASF field reps investigated 787 soybean symptomology claims during the 2017 season.

The months ahead will reveal what these altered players will look like and how they’ll work with dealers and growers. They’ll also show where companies are focusing efforts in trait development and crop systems.

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.’

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

“With the market environment deteriorating, farmers’ economic situation remained strained and competitive pressure was high.”

The assets to be acquired include Bayer’s global glufosinate-ammonium non-selective herbicide business, commercialized under the Liberty, Basta and Finale brands, and seed businesses for key row crops in select markets.
