Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology Performs

As the market’s first premix residual dicamba herbicide, Tavium^® Plus VaporGrip^® Technology from Syngenta delivered exceptional first-year weed control, despite early-season weather challenges, including record rainfall. Following the April 2019 registration by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Tavium offered dicamba-tolerant soybean and cotton growers a convenient new tool to manage key ALS-, PPO- and glyphosate-resistant broadleaf and grass weeds with two effective sites of action for contact and residual control.

“If there was ever a season that put weed control to the test, 2019 would be it,” says Bobby Bachman, herbicide product lead at Syngenta. “Tavium stood up to the test due to its powerful formulation and flexibility.”

Tavium contains built-in residual control to manage resistant weeds and maintain clean fields throughout the season. The addition of S-metolachlor with dicamba in a premix offers up to three weeks longer residual control than dicamba alone.

“If there was ever a season that put weed control to the test, 2019 would be it. Tavium stood up to the test due to its powerful formulation and flexibility.”

Growers can use Tavium at the preplant, planting and early post-emergence stages on Roundup Ready 2 Xtend^® Soybeans and Bollgard II^® XtendFlex^® Cotton. It targets driver weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, horseweed (marestail), common and giant ragweed, kochia, morningglory, barnyardgrass, and foxtail. Tavium controls 21 different weeds when applied preemergence and 63 weeds as a post-emergence herbicide.
