Bayer introduces a new herbicide in Guatemala
Oct. 24, 2014
Bayer CropScience has launched Merlín Total herbicide (isoxaflutole and indaziflam) for the improvement of sugarcane productivity in Guatemala. This crop is threatened mostly by grasses and broad-leaved herbs in the Central America. Merlín Total is compatible with other pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides such as "Basta" and "Finale".
"Merlín Total is an innovative pre-emergent herbicide that offers flexible and efficient management for weeds. It offers a long residual up to 120 days, which allows a reduction of spraying. With this, the profitability, efficiency and logistics management is improved. The crop productivity increases from 15% to 20%," explained by Luis Fernando Orellana, regional manager of Bayer.
Guatemala grows over 260 thousand hectares of sugarcane, which represents 25% of its agricultural production and nearly 14% of the country's exports, according to official data.
"It will be the first country in Central America to have this product", noted by Armando Sandoval, manager of Bayer CropScience at Guatemala.
