Resistance management is a problem for wheat growers, especially with kochia and wild oats. UPL is introducing a new product this year called Batalium Amped. Strategic Marketing Manager Kathleen Seitzinger says it has three active ingredients. “It’s our flucarbazone base which UPL owns and then we added in bromoxynil and fluroxypyr so you get that wide spectrum of control of grass and broadleaves.” To address resistance management and the stewardship of the product, Seitzinger says everything is at a full rate. “So you’ve got a full rate of the flucarbazone which people would probably reference that as Everest; You’ve got your full rate of bromoxynil and a full rate of fluroxypyr, so you’ve got that three modes of action for that cross-spectrum control in spring wheat.
