New GRASP® XTRA and REBELEX™ Rice Herbicides Now AvailableProducts offer a dual mode of action for control of grasses and broadleaf weeds Indianapolis - March 29, 2010 Dow AgroSciences introduces two new weed management solutions, GRASP® XTRA and REBELEX™ rice herbicides, which are now available at select retailer locations. GRASP XTRA and REBELEX provide growers with more convenient, broad-spectrum control of grasses and broadleaf weeds, such as sprangletop and barnyardgrass. Additionally, the dual mode of action in each herbicide supplies producers with less product mixing and fewer products to handle. "The development of these products signifies the commitment that Dow AgroSciences has to the rice market," says Jim Parker, portfolio marketing leader for rice herbicides at Dow AgroSciences. "These products will provide growers with a level of broad-spectrum control they haven't seen before." GRASP XTRA contains two proven modes of action by combining penoxsulam and triclopyr. This conveniently packaged product delivers broad-spectrum control targeting tough broadleaf weeds and barnyardgrass. GRASP XTRA delivers the comprehensive weed control needed to complete the CLEARFIELD® system. It can be tank-mixed with Newpath® herbicide in early-season applications to provide highly effective control. It also can be used in conventional, long grain, medium grain, or hybrid production. REBELEX is a unique, targeted solution for growers utilizing non-conventional or water-seeding planting practices. While tailor-made for water-seeded culture in Louisiana, REBELEX fits all rice-growing geographies in the Midsouth. Containing the active ingredients penoxsulam and cyhalofop-butyl, it supplies growers with a dual mode of action that controls sprangletop, barnyardgrass and broadleaf weeds. In addition, REBELEX offers growers added residual control with a wider window for application timing. REBELEX also works well in both CLEARFIELD and conventional systems and can be tank-mixed with Newpath or Beyond® herbicide. "GRASP® XTRA and REBELEX™ herbicides round out our rice herbicides portfolio and give growers more control options," Parker says. "These products were developed with direct input from rice producers and consultants – they asked for products like this and we were able to deliver them." Dow AgroSciences also provides proven weed management solutions with GRASP, CLINCHER®, and GRANDSTAND® herbicides.
