The Canadian arm of crop chem firm FMC has announced a new co-pack combination for pre-seeding and pre-emergence burnoff ahead of spring wheat, winter wheat, durum or barley in the four western provinces.
FMC bills its new brand, Avireo, as the first herbicide for that use in Western Canada to combine actives from Group 27 (tolpyralate) and Group 14 (carfentrazone) — which means growers get a new mode-of-action combination to throw at herbicide-resistant weeds.
The company says Avireo can be used to control a “wide range” of annual broadleaf weeds — specifically mentioning Group 2-, 4- and 9-resistant kochia, Group 2- and 4-resistant cleavers and volunteer canola — and that the product can perform in any soil type.
The liquid co-pack — which comes as two 1.2-litre jugs of FMC’s Aim EC and one 1.82-litre jug of Tolpyralate 400SC — can be applied pre-seed or up to three days after seeding.
The company also notes the combo is registered for tank mix options such as glyphosate or FMC’s Group 14 sulfentrazone product Authority 480, depending on the crop.
