BASF announces new corn herbicide to help battle weed resistance

Corn farmers will have another option in the fight against tough-to-control weeds.

BASF has announced Surtain, a new corn herbicide that the company hopes to be available for the 2024 growing season.  Wade Firestone, US Crop Product Manager with BASF says Surtain provides growers with unmatched weed control. “Up to 8-weeks residual on tough-to-control weeds like waterhemp and Palmer amaranth,” he says.  

He tells Brownfield the combination of chemistries is unique.
