Syngenta says trials of its new corn herbicide this year are showing positive results against glyphosate-resistant weeds.
Minnesota-based R & D scientist Ryan Lins says control is very good on the most resistant weeds including giant ragweed and common ragweed.
“Acuron GT is controlling these two difficult-to-control weeds very well at 91% control compared to Halex and other competitive herbicides.”
Scott Cully, Syngenta R & D scientist in southern Illinois, says the extra length of residual control from Acuron GT is a huge benefit in his territory of Illinois and Kentucky where there’s heavy pressure from waterhemp and palmer amaranth.
