Kixor (saflufenacil or BAS800) - BASF Labels Pending Indiana
Kixor is a new active ingredient from BASF that will be labeled for use in corn, soybean, small grains, and tree/nut/vine cropping systems. Saflufenacil is a PPO inhibitor, similar to flumioxazin ( Valor) and sulfentrazone (Authority). It has shown good foliar and residual activity on horseweed (marestail), giant and common ragweed, lambsquarter, velvetleaf, and pigweed/waterhemp species and thus would fit in both the no-till and conventional-till corn and soybean market. It is anticipated that Kixor containing products will be labeled for use for the 2010 season. BASF has indicated that they will market saflufenacil alone (proposed trade is Sharpen) and as premixes with imazethapyr (Pursuit: proposed trade name is Optill) and dimethenamid-P (Outlook: proposed trade name is Integrity).
