New Active Ingredient, Increased Flexibility

A new mode of action is available for the cereals market this year. Corteva Portfolio Marketing Lead Drew Clark says Tolvera herbicide has an active ingredient that is new to the cereals market. “This past year, a lot of growers had to deal with a lot of hard-to-control weeds, like kochia, waterhemp and pigweed,” said Clark. “Being able to introduce brand new actives in the cereals space is a big deal.” In addition to the new tool to deal with resistant weeds, Clark said it delivers more flexibility for the following season. “Think about your highly sensitive crops, like lentils, peas, potatoes, sugarbeets, Tolvera allows a nine-month plant back so it gives a grower a lot of flexibility when they’re thinking about their crop plan.”
