Elevore™ Herbicide Now Registered for Canada Fleabane Control

 

MISSISSAUGA, ON – Corteva Agriscience™, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, is pleased to announce that field corn and soybean growers in Eastern Canada now have a new option for managing glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane.

 

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved the registration of Elevore™ herbicide, a new tool that provides consistent, pre-plant burndown control of glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane and several other broadleaf weeds, including common ragweed.

 

“We know that glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane is one of the top weeds on growers’ minds, as it’s extremely difficult to manage in-crop and herbicide options can be limited,” says Dave Kloppenburg, category leader for row crop herbicides at Corteva Agriscience™. “Controlling Canada fleabane with Elevore™ herbicide as part of a pre-plant burndown program is a good agronomic practice that helps ensure weeds aren’t interfering with your crop.” 

 

Kloppenburg explains that Elevore™ herbicide contains Arylex™ active, part of a new family of Group 4 herbicides. Arylex™ active allows Elevore™ herbicide to bind tightly to target weeds, providing thorough, systemic control while also eliminating re-growth.

 

“We believe what sets Elevore™ herbicide apart from other competitive chemistries is the consistency of control – it locks onto the weed and doesn’t let go,” he says.

 

Kloppenburg recommends that growers use Elevore™ herbicide in combination with other residual herbicides and modes of action to create a robust, pre-plant weed control program that will help manage against future resistance.

 

Elevore™ herbicide can be applied pre-plant with all major corn and soybean production systems, including conventional, Roundup Ready®, Enlist™ and Xtend®.

 

Elevore™ herbicide will be commercially available in Eastern Canada for the 2019 growing

Did this grain bin actually make money… or did it just feel like it did?

I break down the real cost, payback, and financial performance of a grain bin using actual 2025 corn prices, real payments, and real math. We walk through when the bin paid, when it didn’t, and why timing matters when storing grain.

This isn’t theory — this is a full-year look at cost of ownership, cost of carry, harvest pricing, and test weight, all laid out on the whiteboard so you can run the numbers for your own farm.
