By eliminating early season weed competition, such as volunteer Roundup Ready® canola and wild buckwheat, the corn herbicide assists growers in maximizing their yield. Throughout the test, it provides extended control over tough broadleaf and grassy weeds.
Chemicals known as herbicides are used to control or manipulate undesirable vegetation. The application of herbicides is most common in row-crop farming, where they are applied either before or during planting to reduce other vegetation and increase crop productivity.
Before harvesting genetically modified wheat, soybeans, oats, and corn, conventional farmers apply glyphosate. Glyphosate is also used by customers on their lawns and gardens.
Carbaryl, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, permethrin, and bifenthrin are common vegetable garden contact insecticides that effectively control caterpillars (corn earworms, fall armyworms, and European corn borers) and beetles (flea beetles, Japanese beetles, and sap beetle.
The Global Corn herbicide market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Corteva announces its latest postemergence corn herbicide, Kyro. Kyro is a novel formulation–the first of its kind to market– combining the active ingredients acetochlor, topramezone and clopyralid into one premix.
Dow scientists identified a class of bacterial enzymes (AADs) that metabolize 2,4-D. The gene for this enzyme was inserted into crops, therefore providing resistance to 2,4-D in soybean and greatly increasing corn’s tolerance to this herbicide. The trait is referred to as Enlist.
Herbicides are used in forest management to prepare logged areas for replanting. The total applied volume and area covered is greater but the frequency of application is much less than for farming.
In suburban and urban areas, herbicides are applied to lawns, parks, golf courses and other areas. Herbicides are applied to water bodies to control aquatic weeds. These weeds can impede irrigation withdrawals or interfere with recreational and industrial uses of water. The potential effects of herbicides are strongly influenced by their toxic mode of action and their method of application.
The molecular site of action is challenging to predict because structural associations have not been identified (Duke 1990), but modes of action are well-established.
Herbicides can act by inhibiting cell division, photosynthesis or amino acid production or by mimicking natural plant growth hormones, causing deformities (Ross and Childs 1996). Application methods include spraying onto foliage, applying to soils and applying directly to aquatic systems.
