Since most countries establish their own MRLs for imported foods, this announcement means growers will have the option of using Heat herbicide as a harvest aid/desiccant on export crops in 2014.
“Growers apply a pre-harvest application for three key reasons: to dry weeds down, to speed up crop drying time and for weed control the next year,” said Danielle Eastman, brand manager, western herbicides for BASF. “The addition of Heat herbicide helps improve growers’ pre-harvest glyphosate application for all these reasons.”
