Visitors to this year’s Croptec
event will be able to learn more about the completely new chemistry offered by
Dow AgroSciences’ new herbicide based on the active ingredient ArylexTM Active
which offers to remove complexity from broad-leaf weed control in cereals.
Arylex Active offers the first new
chemistry to control broad leaf weeds for many years. It comes from the Arylpicolinate
group, a new class of synthetic auxin chemistry within the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee’s Group O category.
The first product based is Pixxaro (Arylex
+ fluroxypyr), was launched in spring this year.
“Initial feedback is most
encouraging. Pixxaro has lived up to our expectations that it will provide
effective control of a broad spectrum of troublesome weeds and across a wide
range of crop/ weed growth stages,” says Stuart Jackson, Dow AgroSciences’ cereal
herbicide specialist.
“Most importantly, farmers found Pixarro
allowed them to take far more control of timing when to spray thanks to its effectiveness
across a very wide range of temperatures.”
Visitors to Dow’s Croptec (stand 116) will be able to learn more about the product which will be widely available in
spring 2017, along with the latest trial results showing the superiority of
Pixarro over established brands for control of weeds such as cleavers.
