Grad Student Makes Kixor Her Career

BASF Kixor CrewBASF reps around the country are excited about getting the new Kixor™ technology on the market for growers soon.

Tracy Mellendorf, pictured here in the center with other BASF reps at a Kixor field day in Belleville on Tuesday, is a recent graduate of Southern Illinois University with a degree in weed science and has been working for BASF since April. Her research project was “Burndown Control of Mare’s Tail with Kixor Products” and she found that it was very effective for one of the most pesky weeds in this part of the country. “I always tell people that I worked with it in grad school and I chose to keep coming and working with it for my career,” she said. “So I’m definitely very excited and a true believer in the product.”

BASF is looking forward to getting final registration for products containing Kixor herbicide technology, hopefully by the end of August.
