Limagrain Cereal Seeds (LCS) has announced a collaboration with Albaugh Chemicals and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation which will create new "over-the-top" control of grassy weeds in wheat. The company announced the agreement at its Central Plains Wheat Field Day near Wichita, Kansas, on May 19.
"This partnership will create new chemistry, new wheat varieties, and a new production system," says Frank Curtis, chief operating officer for LCS, which is based in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The herbicide chemistry is scheduled for EPA registration approval in 2017, after three years of field data are complete. Meanwhile, wheat varieties containing the non-GM herbicide tolerance trait are being developed. It will take until at least 2018 before farmers get access to them.
