Bayer CropScience’ Vegetation Management business has secured federal approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Invora herbicide.
The federal-registered herbicide can be used on privately-owned, non-hayed rangeland and non-hayed perennial grasslands in the US states, including Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Invora herbicide will help manage undesirable woody brush and weeds on rangeland
Invora herbicide is a new active ingredient that can control unwanted woody brush and weeds on rangeland.
The herbicide will also help in the long-term control of honey mesquite and huisache, which are widely-distributed invasive brush species in the four-state region.
Invora will also serve as a tool for use in rangeland restoration initiative, as well as facilitates pre and post control of multiple broadleaf weeds via root and shoot uptake
In addition, Bayer’s next-generation stewardship strategy will help eliminate the impact on the compost industry or neighbours.
Invora herbicide should not be used on hay production sites, as well as treated brush must degrade on the treatment site and cannot be removed.
Harvesting, composting and movement of move any treated vegetation from the treatment site must be avoided for two years following treatment with Invora herbicide
Manure generated from animals grazing on treated vegetation within two years of the application must remain on the treatment site.
According to the company, Invora herbicide is a restricted-use product and all applicators must complete picolinic acid herbicide training before spraying the herbicide.
Bayer North America vegetation management marketing head Tiffany Fremder said: “We are so pleased to see Invora herbicide receive federal approval from the EPA.
“It is truly exciting to provide ranchers with an innovative brush solution for their rangeland restoration needs by reducing the negative impacts of difficult-to-control brush, such as mesquite and huisache. The power to reclaim the land is now in their hands.”
In October 2019, Bayer and Arvinas have concluded the terms of their agreement to launch a targeted protein degradation joint venture (JV), Oerth Bio.
