Maverick corn herbicide earns EPA registration for broad spectrum weed management

Valent U.S.A., San Roman, California, has received Environmental Protection Agency registration for Maverick Corn Herbicide, a new tool for corn farmers in their fight against resistant weeds.

Maverickequips growers with three effective modes of action for long-lasting, broad-spectrum control of problematic weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, marestail and annual grasses, as well as application flexibility from preplant up to 18-inch corn, low use rates for easy in-field handling and mixing, and excellent compatibility with atrazine.

Combining three different modes of action (clopyralid, a Group 4—Plant-Growth Inhibitors, mesotrione, a Group 27- HPPD Inhibitors, and pyroxasulfone, a Group 15 – Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid (VLCFA) Inhibitors), makesMaverick an excellent choice for herbicide resistance management programs.

Maverick will be available later this year, pending state registrations. For more information, see a representative or visit www.valent.com/Maverick.
