Nufarm launches herbicide Scorch for resistant kochia in U.S.

Date:07-26-2016

Nufarm introduces Scorch (Dicamba+2,4-D+Fluroxypyr) herbicide for U.S. farmers and ranchers combating a broad range of troublesome broadleaf weeds.

A unique premix of three active ingredients, Scorch is specifically designed with glyphosate-resistant and dicamba-tolerant kochia in mind. It also provides excellent control of more than 60 annual and 50 biennial/perennial weeds, including common ragweed, waterhemp, marestail, lambsquarters and Palmer amaranth.

Scorch is labeled for use on cereal grains, fallow, field corn, sorghum, range and pasture, and more.

Other key benefits of Scorch:

•    With true systemic control, Scorch kills weeds above and below ground instead of just stunting tough broadleaf weeds.

•    Because of its formulation, Scorch works better in challenging cooler weather than other dicamba and 2,4-D herbicides.

“Herbicide-resistant or tolerant weed populations are widespread, and many weed populations are resistant to more than one herbicide,” says Bob Bruss, Director, Technical Services for Nufarm. “With Scorch, we have combined three active ingredients, each with a broad range of activity, to create a tool that’s very effective in combatting weeds resistant to glyphosate, dicamba and ALS-inhibitor herbicides.”

Scorch can be applied to actively growing weeds as aerial, broadcast, band, or spot spray applications, and using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. See label for complete application timing and rate details.
