BASF transfers herbicide Dicamax Brazil registration to Monsanto
May. 19, 2017
BASF has transferred the ownership of its Brazilian registration of Dicamax herbicide (dicamba) to Monsanto. The alteration was approved by the regulation agency and published in the Official Union Gazette on May 11, 2017.
Monsanto has been investing in alternative products to its major herbicide, the glyphosate, in face of a growing resistance of weeds. One of these can be dicamba, an old molecule that should have a new application by the North American giant.
According to BASF, Dicamax is a systemic herbicide for pre-emergent control of weed, derived from the group of benzoic acids, which simulates the action of auxin hormones, specific for the control of wide-leave weeds. It is absorbed by leaves and roots through phloem and xylem, being transported to all parts in a rapid way, accumulating on active growth areas, inhibiting its development.
The herbicide transferred to Monsanto is recommended “for the control of weeds in the pre-planting of soybeans grown in the no-tillage system or minimum crop system. It is also recommended during application of desiccation of pre-harvest on soybean crops with the goal of anticipating and/or homogenizing the harvest.”
