Corn tolerance to florpyrauxifen-benzyl rates and its mixture with atrazine and mesotrione by Amar S. Godar, Jason K. Norsworthy, L. Tom Barber

“…These results suggest that using florpyrauxifen-benzyl in corn, even at low rates and/or in a mixture with atrazine/mesotrione, can cause immediate and sustained injury, often leading to greater than 10% yield reduction. Further research could explore in-crop, in-chemistry, or in-application technology opportunities for mitigating this inadequate safety to render this novel tool a viable option for use in corn.…”
