Australian farmers will be the first in the world to experience Luximax® (cinmethylin), the breakthrough pre-emergent herbicide by BASF, which has received registration from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). Currently registered for use in wheat (excluding durum wheat), Luximax will be available to growers in time for the 2020 season.

Currently registered for use in wheat (excluding durum wheat), Luximax will be available to growers in time for the 2020 season.

“Australian growers are world leaders in agronomic practices, and we are proud to continue to support them by delivering the first new mode of action for ryegrass in 30 years. We are excited by this world-first registration, and what it means for growers to add another tool to their rotation toolbox,” said Gavin Jackson, Head of Agricultural Solutions at BASF Australia and New Zealand.

Luximax is a breakthrough in annual ryegrass control as it will equip Australian growers with the first unique mode of action in a generation. This mode of action offers more options for chemical rotation, strengthens existing integrated weed management strategies and provides up to 12 weeks’ residual control of ryegrass, including biotypes resistant to existing herbicide modes of action such as Groups D, J and K.
