Dow Adds Surveil to Soybean Herbicide Portfolio

Date:12-23-2013

Dow recently announced that the newest addition to Dow AgroSciences' soybean herbicide portfolio is Surveil Co-pack herbicide(flumioxazin + cloransulam-methyl). Surveil Co-pack is a preemergence, residual product offering weed control for soybean growers in all geographies.

"Crop production today is becoming more complicated than ever before," says Dan Puck, portfolio marketing leader for soybean herbicides, Dow AgroSciences. "Resistant weeds, insects and diseases are just some of the factors weighing on today's producer."

Puck says the new Surveil Co-pack herbicide features a double-protection barrier that is effective on today's "high-anxiety" weeds. Surveil Co-pack also is an effective tool for soybean producers facing glyphosate-resistant or hard-to-control weeds, he said.

With two non-glyphosate active ingredients — flumioxazin and cloransulam-methyl — Surveil Co-pack can control marestail, Palmer amaranth and a broad spectrum of other high-anxiety weeds. Surveil also provides residual protection and can provide the crop rotational flexibility desired by soybean growers across many regions.
