From this perspective. Over the past decade, many growers have adopted direct seeding systems in their farming operations. This advancement has required significant changes in weed management, particularly in the area of controlling early emerging spring annual weeds. Zeneca Agro is proud to bring another non-selective herbicide to its product portfolio for Western Canadian growers. In addition, Gramoxone PDQ is rapidly absorbed by the plant and because it is biologically deactivated on contact with soil, there is no residual activity.
Time is a precious commodity at seeding time.
The biggest advantage of Gramoxone PDQ over glyphosate, is the speed with which it works. In fact, growers can spray with Gramoxone PDQ and plant the same day. Gramoxone PDQ can also be applied post-seeding, but prior to crop emergence. Gramoxone is also currently sold in more than 100 countries worldwide, and is the second largest selling herbicide in the world. We are very excited about the possibilities for it and growers will be pleased with its speed and efficacy.
