Syngenta Canada Inc. recently announced the registration of Tavium™ Plus VaporGrip® Technology herbicide for broad-spectrum control of grass and broadleaf weeds in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans.
Tavium is a pre-mix of dicamba (Group 4) and s-metolachlor (Group 15), the active ingredient in Dual II Magnum® herbicide. It can be applied pre-plant or pre-emergence in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans as part of a two-pass program to control glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane, giant ragweed, and common ragweed, as well as other target weeds such as lamb’s-quarters, barnyard grass, and foxtail.
“Herbicide-resistant weeds and, in particular, glyphosate-resistant weeds, continue to pose a challenge for soybean growers,” says Joe Vink, Product Lead for Corn and Bean Herbicides. “Tavium is a new herbicide specifically designed to help manage these resistant weeds in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® soybeans. Compared to stand-alone dicamba products, the dual modes of action in Tavium broaden the activity spectrum resulting in increased efficacy and sustainability in the fight against resistant weeds.”
