Monsanto outlines new weed managment platform

Monsanto has outlined what it calls “a new weed management platform” for managing weeds in the absence or presence of glyphosate-resistance.

According to the vice president of Monsanto’s crop protection business, Mike Frank, the Roundup Ready PLUS platform provides weed management recommendations for Roundup Ready crops for each farm situation, by pairing crop protection products from Monsanto and other companies.  He says it places emphasis on residual control designed to manage tough weeds, including resistant pigweed and tall waterhemp. 

Roundup Ready PLUS includes rebates and other incentives for farmers to follow the Monsanto program.
