Thursday, January 23, 2025

The latest annual overview of herbicide products shows no new modes of action but introduces several new active ingredients and premixes.

Beyond Xtra 1SL (BASF) will replace Beyond and Raptor, combining their labels. It is suitable for crops such as alfalfa, soybean, snap bean, and Clearfield sunflowers. Existing stocks of Beyond and Raptor will continue to be sold until depleted.
Enversa 3CS (Corteva) is a newly encapsulated acetochlor formulation (Group 15) for soybean and corn. Its controlled-release technology extends residual weed control. Applied at 3 pt/A, it can be used from pre-emergence up to post-R2 in soybean and up to 30” in corn. It is currently available on the market.
Intrava DX and Intrava MX (UPL) are experimental premixes containing amicarbazone combined with metribuzin (DX) or mesotrione (MX). These products target annual broadleaves and grass weeds, including Palmer and waterhemp, but are not yet registered.
