The EPA has registered Surtain, a new field corn herbicide from BASF. The solid
encapsulated premix formula may offer control or suppression of 79 broadleaf and
grass weeds. With a focus on residual control, Surtain applications can be made
from pre-plant to V3.



“Every year, growers spend millions of dollars to control weeds in corn fields
due to increased herbicide resistance,” said Scott Kay, vice president of U.S.
agricultural solutions at BASF, in a news release. “Surtain herbicide’s unique
chemistry targets weeds at their most vulnerable state, providing excellent
control of even the most troublesome weeds facing corn growers today.”



BASF developed Surtain with difficult weeds such as Palmer amaranth, waterhemp,
and giant ragweed in mind. The active ingredients in Surtain are Group 14
saflufenacil and Group 15 pyroxasulfone, reducing farmer reliance on HPPD
inhibitors. The product can be tank mixed with herbicides, liquid fertilizers,
adjuvants, and additives to provide flexibility. 



Surtain is approved for use, subject to state approvals. To learn more, click
