Herbicide hard on kochia, easy on the crop rotations

Growers in the dark brown and brown soil zone have a new herbicide option designed to control kochia in cereals.

Corteva Agriscience’s OnDeck has a Group 6 (bromoxynil) and a Group 27 (tolpyralate), an active ingredient that is new to the western Canadian cereal market.

Jason Smith, Corteva’s western portfolio marketing manager for cereal herbicides, said OnDeck will be a valuable tool to help fight herbicide resistant kochia.

Last summer, kochia resistant to PPO inhibitors may also have surfaced in Saskatchewan.
