Here’s an announcement from Syngenta that is filled with words I love, like “burndown.” That’s what I want to do to weeds, burn them down! Even better this new formulation is more “user-friendly.”

An innovative new formulation of paraquat herbicide, just registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sets a higher industry standard for protection of users while delivering the same effective broad-spectrum weed control that US growers have relied on for more than 40 years. New Gramoxone Inteon™ herbicide from Syngenta Crop Protection is as effective as Gramoxone Max® in burndown and harvest aid uses, and offers an effective alternative to glyphosate technology.

“Gramoxone Inteon is a major advance in product stewardship and reduced risk,” said Rusty Wendt, Syngenta brand manager. “This new innovative formulation continues the Gramoxone tradition by providing outstanding weed control and an effective weed resistance management tool option.”
