The new MANA soybean herbicides feature resistance management attributes for improved weed control with emphasis on weeds resistant to glyphosate, HPPD, triazine and ALS inhibitors

“With EPA approval granted in time for the 2013 season, soybean growers will have more options for comprehensive resistance management strategies,” said Dave Downing, MANA brand leader. “Our latest entries offer differentiating performance qualities that target problem weeds and allow growers to be more successful when combatting existing resistance issues, or to help them get ahead of resistance before it shows up.”

Downing says the MANA resistance management weed control portfolio includes proven active ingredients that host multiple modes of action plus residual activity in highly compatible formulations.

According to MANA, the products include:

  • Torment herbicide: The first residual weed control of its kind combining two active ingredients (fomesafen and imazethapyr) for control of 65 grasses and broadleaves, including those resistant to glyphosate, and HPPD and triazine inhibitors. Torment provides up to 45 days of residual activity and can be used as a pre-emergent or early post-emergent application. And it has compatibility with glyphosate for post-emergent applications.
  • Rumble herbicide: A pre-emergent and post-emergent residual tool that targets glyphosate and ALS-resistant weeds including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and common ragweed. Ruble’s active ingredient is fomesafen and is compatible with glyphosate and paraquat-based products.
  • Tailwind herbicide: Tailwind is a pre-emergent weed control tool that delivers two modes of action (metolachlor plus metribuzin) for early-season control of 40 grasses and broadleaves, including species susceptible to ALS and glyphosate resistance. Tailwind is compatible with premium formulations of glyphosate and paraquat, and it provides rotational flexibility with common row crops without carryover concerns. Additionally, potatoes are included on the Tailwind 2013 label.
  • Vise herbicide: Vise is the only alternative premix of metolachlor plus fomesafen that is uniquely compatible with premium formulations of glyphosate- and paraquat-based products. With dual modes of action and up to 45 days of residual control, vise serves as an early-season foundational tool. It’s also a solid fit for a glyphosate post-sequential program. Vise has superior waterhemp control and mitigates extensive weed management if used early. It is crop-safe and allows for flexibility when used in rotation with common row crops. Cotton is also included on the Vise 2013 label.
  • Outflank herbicide: Powered by the active ingredient flumioxazin, Outflank provides broad-spectrum residual control of tough weeds in soybeans, cotton, field corn and many other crops. Early-season applications of Outflank manage ALS-, SU- and glyphosate-resistant weeds while offering excellent crop safety and rotational flexibility to common follow-crops.
