Monsanto, Valent Expand Roundup Ready PLUS Partnership

Monsanto and Valent U.S.A. are expanding their partnership in the 2018 Roundup Ready PLUS Crop Management Solutions platform.

Valent will offer its Valor and Fierce brands as the exclusive preemergence PPO residual herbicides in the program, and new products such as Mauler Herbicide and Fierce MTZ Co-Pack will be added for control of tough weeds.

Valor SX Herbicide will again be part of the program for 2018, while Rowel Herbicide and Rowel FX Herbicide will be phased out to streamline product offerings.

Valent’s line of postemergence herbicides – including Cobra and Select Max Herbicide with Inside Technology – will remain in the program.

Growers will also have access to Valent’s latest insecticide solutions in the 2018 program, including Asana XL Insecticide for broad spectrum foliar insect control, and Zeal SC, a proven residual miticide.
