For the third year in a row, BASF has helped kick off the Commodity Classic with its “Science Behind” symposium. This year the symposium focused on Kixor™ herbicide, which BASF is introducing this year.

Helping to explain the science behind Kixor was Bryan Young, professor of Weed Science and Agronomy at Southern Illinois University who talked about why new chemistries are needed to help growers control weeds, especially in corn and soybeans. “We need the new chemistry that provides value that growers can see to make week management more diverse and to curb the risk of getting resistant weeds,” Bryan said.
