Monsanto Co. (MON) said Tuesday that it has received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the sales of a new formulation of acetochlor for early post-emergence use in cotton and soybeans.
The company said the product will be marketed as MON 63410 Herbicide for the 2010 growing season. Upon receipt of state registrations or approvals, it will be introduced primarily for those areas of the Southeast, Mid-South and Midwestern states of Missouri and Southern Illinois, which have had resistance and other control problems with Palmer amaranth and tall waterhemp.
MON 63410 is a new encapsulated formulation of acetochlor that provides for greater crop safety on cotton and soybeans than previous products like Harness herbicide and Degree herbicide.
