Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved Warrant Ultra Herbicide, a premix of acetochlor and formesafen.
This tool will be available for soybean and cotton farmers in 2016. When released, it will be the first and only herbicide on the market to formulate microencapsulated acetochlor and formesafen, according to Monsanto.
Monsanto representative Austin Horn said the herbicide will provide excellent post-emergence control of problematic weeds, as well as residual control of broad-spectrum weeds and annual grasses.
In 2016, Warrant Ultra Herbicide will be part of the Roundup Ready PLUS Crop Management Solutions program, which provides growers with recommendations, education and incentives.
