Mesotrione becomes newest labeled herbicide for LibertyLink GT27 Soybeans
WEST POINT, IA – Merschman Seeds unveils the newest labeled herbicide option for LibertyLink® GT27® soybeans, mesotrione. Mesotrione is now the second HPPD inhibitor labeled for use in conjunction with LibertyLink GT27 soybeans. UPL also recently released a mesotrione-based chemistry, named Motif, that is approved for use with LibertyLink GT27 soybeans.
About Motif
Motif offers broad-spectrum weed control coupled with powerful, long-lasting residual control for season-long protection. Motif can be used as an effective site of action before or at planting to ensure optimal weed efficacy. Motif can be combined with additional sites of action, including Metricor or Tricor (metribuzin) and/or Moccasin or Moccasin II Plus brand S-metolachlor, for even more robust weed control against problematic glyphosate-, triazine-, PPO- and ALS-resistant weeds.
UPL Marketing Manager Tom Mudd notes, “Weed scientists are strongly recommending multiple effective sites of action before or at planting to ensure optimal weed efficacy and weed resistance management — and to relieve the pressure on limited post-emergence options. Motif, when combined with additional sites of action, can be a powerful part of a soybean weed control program.”
Motif is labeled for use with LibertyLink GT27 soybeans nearly everywhere that soybeans are grown in the U.S.
