Acuron GT For Weed Control in Field Corn (Prostko)
Syngenta recently received registration for a new postemergence field corn herbicide sold under the trade name of Acuron® GT. Acuron® GT is very similar to Halex® GT but it contains an additional active ingredient (bicyclopyrone). Syngenta has several similar field corn herbicides in the market and I have summarized them in Table 1. I have only had the opportunity to evaluate Acuron® GT for 1 year (Figure 1) so I would encourage any interested GA growers to use it on a limited basis until I can get more data in 2021. A complete copy of the Acuron® GT label can be downloaded here: https://www.syngenta-us.com/current-label/acuron_gt.
