Nufarm updates burndown portfolio for lentil and canola

Lentil and canola growers in Western Canada have new options for burndown weed control with new herbicide updates from Nufarm Agriculture Inc. Valtera is now approved for a fall application prior to seeding lentils (large green and small red types).

Valtera (Group 14) is a distinct mode of action that can be used as part of a fall burndown program for residual weed control where lentils will be planted the following crop season. Valtera controls a range of broadleaf weeds including pigweed, lamb’s-quarters, seedling dandelion, kochia and chickweed, and suppression of green foxtail and volunteer canola. Valtera re-activates with moisture to deliver residual control that lasts for four to six weeks in the spring. Valtera is also registered for spring or fall pre-seed burndown and residual control in chickpeas, field peas, soybeans and spring wheat. Visit nufarm.ca for more info.
