New Herbicide Registered for Use in Soybean, Cotton and Canola
AMVAC Chemical Corporation, an American Vanguard Company, announces that Zalo herbicide, enabled by ProLease technology, has received federal registration.
The herbicide is approved for early to mid-post-emergence use in glufosinate trait-enabled soybean, cotton and canola. In addition, the label will include pome and stone fruit crops.
Zalo will be available for the Spring 2024 season following state registrations.
“We are very excited to be able to bring zalo to market because of the significant advantages it
provides farmers. In addition to broad-spectrum broadleaf weed control, Zalo provides enhanced
grass weed control with crop safety,” says Mark Foster, AMVAC corn, soybean, and sugar beet marketing
manager.
He says the herbicide combines multiple active ingredients and modes of action to take weed control up a level, delivering control of labeled broadleaf weeds plus control of labeled annual and perennial grass species, including non-Enlist traited volunteer corn.
Level Up Your Lineup
Zalo is a premix of glufosinate and quizalofop — two proven active ingredients in one powerful
formulation. Strong control of broadleaf weeds is combined with broad-spectrum control of annual
grasses including non-Enlist traited volunteer corn, giant foxtail, fall panicum, and shattercane, and
perennial grasses, including johnsongrass and quackgrass.
“Zalo also stands apart from other herbicides because it is enabled by ProLease technology, a
unique process developed by AMVAC that protects the herbicide molecules from performance
inhibitors, allowing them to reach the target weed where the molecules are released for superior
activity,” says Foster. “Specifically, research shows that ProLease technology helps overcome
degradation, separation, and compatibility or mixing issues in the container and as a mixture in the
sprayer.”
Zalo is designed for grower applicators and custom applicators with the following needs:
• Glufosinate users who want a simple, more consistent performing product for grass control
versus glufosinate alone.
• Those who are currently tank-mixing fop or dim ingredients with glufosinate and looking for
convenience, better spray tank product stability, and less container disposal.
• Those looking for an alternating treatment with an auxin herbicide on Enlist or XtendFlex
crops for resistance management.
• Growers needing broad-spectrum broadleaf and grass weed control beyond mandated
dicamba “cutoff” dates.
