Clariant Introduces Innovation in Glufosinate-Based Herbicide

Clariant's Glufosinate Herbicide Innovation Regulatory pressures, herbicide-resistant weeds, climate change, shifting consumer needs… As challenges mount for crop farmers in combating weed desiccation and regrowth, Clariant is offering support through ADJUWEX, a high-performance new tested product range designed to adapt effective glufosinate formulations to local conditions and requirements. Glufosinate formulations have emerged among the most promising candidates in the urgent search for alternative herbicide solutions to ensure vital crop growth and ultimately global food security. However, there is no one-size-fits-all formulation. The most effective composition can vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including climate, soil, crop and application conditions.
