New herbicide tolerant soybean trait coming soon

MS Technologies' Lauren August at Commodity Classic, Kissimmee, Fla., Feb. 28, 2013.MS Technologies and Bayer CropScience will market a new soybean trait called Balance GT, which is tolerant to both glyphosate and isoxaflutole. Growers will have the flexibility to use both glyphosate and isoxaflutole to control grasses and broadleaf weeds, according to Lauren August, MS Technologies Brand Manager. “Growers are going to need change and choice in the coming years,” said August, in an interview with Brownfield Ag News at Commodity Classic. She points out that isoxaflutole “has a different mode of action than glyphosate, so what glyphosate doesn’t kill, isoxaflutole actually will be able to combat.”
