Gowan Canada
Insight is a new herbicide with the novel active ingredient Tergeo for use in spring wheat and corn as a pre-seed burndown application. Insight is a Group 14 PPO inhibitor, the first to have a registration for control of wild oat.

Insight must be applied with a methylated seed oil surfactant and may be tank mixed with glyphosate.
Nufarm
Nufarm is offering a new selective in-crop broadleaf herbicide for cereals called TruSlate Pro, targeting weeds like cleavers, kochia, Canada thistle, wild buckwheat and others. It can be tank mixed with both Group 1 and Group 2 grassy weed herbicides. This product has a wide window of application (three-leaf stage to just before flag-leaf stage) for wheat, barley and/or oats.
Venim is another new post-emergent herbicide for broad spectrum broadleaf and grassy weed control in soybeans, field peas, dry beans, imi-tolerant lentils and sunflowers. The active ingredient in this product is imazamox, and it’s similar to Davai and Solo herbicides already on the market today.
Berserk is another new herbicide from Nufarm. It is a selective post-emergent product for the control of broadleaf weeds in peas, soybeans, corn, dry beans, forage legumes and grasses. The active ingredient in Berserk is bentazon, similar to Basagran.
