Varro FX Herbicide

New Varro® FX herbicide is a cross-spectrum herbicide with Group 2 and Group 4 active ingredients. It provides control of your toughest grass weeds like Group 1-resistant wild oats and broadleaf weed control boost for cleavers, kochia and more. This is the first Group 2 graminicide with an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation on the market in Western Canada. The EC formulation means Varro FX is easier to mix, handle and provides enhanced coverage for more consistent grass weed control.

Resistance Management

For resistance management, Varro FX is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Varro FX herbicide and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific to individual chemicals such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.

Contact your local Bayer representative at 1 888-283-6847 for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
