A combo of Group 4 and 2 actives is Corteva Agriscience’s latest entry for spring and winter wheat and barley growers in the Prairies’ Black and Grey soil zones to use against broadleaf weeds.
Extinguish XL, launched in mid-March, is billed as a “pre-formulated, all-in-one application that delivers control of tough weeds like cleavers, dandelion, round-leaved mallow, stork’s-bill and narrow leaved hawk’s beard across variable climatic conditions.”
Corteva’s Jason Smith says the product offers up “a unique combination of Group 4 and Group 2 actives to assist farmers with yield-robbing weeds, including Group 2-resistant cleavers, chickweed and volunteer canola.”

Biologicals, biostimulants make way into Prairie crop plans
Biologcials and biostimulants are gaining traction, but experts say Prairie grain growers still need to ask hard questions and look for data that backs up companies’ claims.
The formulation’s actives are halauxifen and 2,4-D (both Group 4) along with florasulam (Group 2). Corteva said it plans to have Extinguish available at “select retail locations” ahead of this growing season.
Similarly, Adama Agricultural Solutions has rolled out four new formulated cereal broadleaf herbicides as part of its “All In” group of products: Forcefighter All In, Esteem All In, Rush 24 All In and Outshine All In.
“Each of these four new cereal broadleaf All In’s convert a traditional co-pack into a formulated product, resulting in more concentrated packaging and the option to add bulk options,” Ambrely Ralph, Adama Canada’s herbicide product manager, says in a release.
The formulations for Esteem, Forcefighter and Outshine all include the Group 4 actives fluroxypyr and MCPA ester, while Esteem also includes clopyralid (Group 4), Forcefighter adds bromoxynil (Group 6) and Outshine adds florasulam (Group 2). Rush 24, meanwhile, combines 2,4-D ester and fluroxypyr.
A separately announced member of the All In group, Brazen All In, has pinoxaden (Group 1) for grassy weed control in spring and winter wheat and barley.
