New active ingredient Tirexor provides Western Canadian growers with exceptional broad-spectrum burndown of broadleaf weeds
Voraxor will be available for the 2022 crop season

BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions (BASF) has received registration from Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) for Voraxor™. Containing the first registration with the active ingredient Tirexor®, Voraxor will be available to Western Canadian growers for the 2022 crop season. The latest addition to BASF’s pre-seed herbicide portfolio, Voraxor represents the evolution of BASF’s innovation in burndown technology, equipping growers with access to innovative crop solutions.

“With Canadian farmers constantly facing new challenges, BASF is committed to providing innovative crop solutions, like Voraxor, that help farmers address their agronomic challenges to maximize yields,” said Mark Shillingford, Director of Marketing, BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions. “We provide farmers with the products, support and resources they need to manage issues today, while investing in research and development to find innovative solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.”

Voraxor offers Western Canadian growers a solution for rapid burndown control of broadleaf weeds, including many group 2, 4 and 9 resistant biotypes, as well as improved broad-spectrum burndown of broadleaf weeds. Voraxor also provides control of winter annual and perennial weeds and residual suppression of several weeds at higher rates – most notably kochia, cleavers, volunteer canola and wild mustard. Voraxor is registered in Western Canada for use in field peas, lentils, soybeans, field corn, wheat and barley.

“In recent years, farmers have been faced with increasing group 2 and 9 herbicide resistance,” said Daniel Packer, Senior Brand Manager of Herbicides, BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions. “With the launch of Voraxor, growers can expect superior pre-seed burndown weed control and improved residual weed spectrum and consistency. This comes from the combination of the all new Tirexor (group 14) active ingredient and the proven Kixor® active ingredient (AI) technology farmers know from Heat® LQ.”

BASF is hosting AgSolutions performance trials (APT) in 2021 so that growers have an opportunity to check out the product ahead of its 2022 launch.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
