Texas-based seed company Alta Seeds has launched what it calls “the world’s first non-GMO, herbicide-tolerant sorghum”.

It’s called igrowth, and Alta spokesman Dean Loftis says it will be a game-changer.

“igrowth will revolutionize sorghum production in the U.S.,”

he says.

Loftis says igrowth sorghum will have tolerance to

imidazolinone herbicide for pre- or post-emergence control over broadleaf and

grass weeds without causing damage to the crop. 

He says the product will be commercially available for growers for the

2021 season.
