Corteva Agriscience, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, submitted a new herbicide for broadleaf weed control on pastures and rangeland to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pending EPA registration, this herbicide will provide cattle producers access to a broader spectrum weed control product, compared with current market standards. This will be first new active ingredient for pastures and rangeland in more than 10 years.
“Regardless of market conditions, it’s always a good idea in the cattle business to focus on the forage production and quality side of the equation,” explains Damon Palmer, Pasture and Land Management Leader at Corteva Agriscience. “Effective weed control can help producers get greater productivity from their lowest-cost feed source – grazing land – and maximize their return on their investment.”
Multiple years of testing show improved control of important broadleaf species, including wild carrot, giant hogweed, wild parsnip, poison hemlock and common caraway, plus better late-season control of marshelder and ironweed.
