BASF is anxiously awaiting final registration for the herbicide technology known as Kixor™.

“It’s going well, the registration is anticipated shortly,” said BASF Tech Service rep Dennis Belcher. “This is kind of a unique registration because it’s actually being reviewed by three countries – Canada, Australia and the United States.”

Belcher says once the technology is approved, they will put four “Powered by Kixor” herbicides on the market, including Optill, Integrity and Sharpen for corn, soybeans, sorghum and other crops. “These products will be made in Hannibal, Missouri and we’ve had the plant ready to go and we will be selling some products after we get registration yet in 2009.”
