Promising herbicide for sunflower

Date:10-26-2011

Kumiai America has agreed to support an IR-4 registration of pyroxasulfone on sunflower.

The National Sunflower Association and its State University partners in all of the production states have been testing this herbicide known as KIH-485 for a number of years.

The research results have been very promising as a sunflower herbicide.

Plans are to conduct residue trials in the summer of 2012.

Several crop protection companies have marketing agreements with Kumiai on this herbicide.
