Corteva Agriscience revealed to AgroPages the launch of a new herbicide, Elevore, produced from the active ingredient Arylex, to control Conyza in soybeans.


″Elevore belongs to a new chemical family of auxinic herbicides with an affinity for a site of action different from the rest of the auxins,″ said Gustavo Ricci, Herbicides Product Manager Southern Cone at Corteva.

According to him, this has made the new herbicide effective for many years: ″It is a very high-performance tool to control Conyza Bonariensis, one of the main resistant weeds, along with grasses and Amaranthus Palmeri.″


Rafael Frene, Corteva's Herbicide Development Leader, highlighted, ″Elevore has a very short residual and persistence in the soil, which allows free rotation for any crop.″

″It is non-volatile, which means it poses a low risk of damage to susceptible crops due to steam drift; it is flexible and versatile in its usage window. It can be applied to soybeans at any time during the fallow period and even very close to planting, effectively controlling Conyza Bonariensis,″ he added.


He stated that many herbicides are incompatible with graminicides in tank mixes, making it necessary to separate applications.


″Elevore is compatible with FOP and DIM (Haloxyfop, Quizalofop, Fluazifop, Propaquizafop, Clethodim, mainly), which allows the producer to make a single application to control Conyza Bonariensis and annual grasses,″ he said.

Corteva told AgroPages that Elevore’s characteristics allow it to fit very well into the control programs of the Enlist Soybean System, increasing the diversity of modes of action and slowing down the evolutionary process of weed resistance.


In conclusion, Rafael Frene clarified, ″The recommendation to use the product is with very low doses of active ingredient per hectare, contributing to the system’s sustainability.″
