CEREAL HERBICIDES The global cereal production is estimated to be 2597 million tons in 2017. Source: http: //www. fao. org/worldfoodsitu ation/csdb/en ©Shutterstock for De Sangosse Herbicides are an essential tool to control weeds in cereals to protect yield and quality. Controlling weeds in winter cereals often requires a herbicide program with several treatments.

SPECIAL CHALLENGES OF CEREAL HERBICIDES *Most cereal herbicides require the addition of an adjuvant to improve retention and uptake. Weed control with herbicides in cereals *Poorly wettable weeds e. g. blackgrass drastically need a powerfull wetting agent to allow the droplet to stay on their leaves *Resistant weeds, e. g. common windgrass (Apera spica-venti) or blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) are a growing problem in some regions.
