Some environmental groups are suing the EPA for its registration of the active ingredient in Tirexor, a BASF herbicide.
The ingredient (trifludimoxazin) received EPA registration in May but the product is not yet on the market. It’s made to control weeds in corn, soybeans and other crops.
BASF says EPA evaluated the product for 32 months and the company continues to supply needed information and data on its benefits and safety, when used according to label.
