Canada to clear Syngenta's Peak herbicide

Date:05-06-2015

The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has proposed the continued registration of Syngenta's herbicide, Peak 75 WG (prosulfuron). The public comments will be closed on June 13, 2015.

Prosulfuron is a selective herbicide registered for post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds. It inhibits the plant enzyme acetolactate synthase, also called acetohydroxyacid synthase. It is registered on field corn, seed corn, winter wheat, sorghum and millet. The end-use product is formulated as wettable granules, packaged as water soluble bags, and is applied using ground application equipment only.
