Understanding Herbicide Resistance – Safeguarding Product Value
Developing and registering new herbicides involves significant investment, complex testing procedures, and increasing regulatory pressure. At the same time, you face the challenge that weeds are adapting more rapidly to new active ingredients – resistance mechanisms emerge, spread, and may jeopardize your product’s effectiveness shortly after market launch.
Our common goal:
To successfully and sustainably establish your product in the market – with sound knowledge of resistance risks and their management.
Why herbicide resistance matters to you:
-
Understanding cross-resistance: Is your active ingredient structurally or functionally related to substances already known to be prone to resistance?
-
Monitoring in target markets: How common are relevant resistance mechanisms already? Where are the hotspots?
-
Strategic product positioning: Good resistance management extends the lifespan of your active ingredients – and secures your market position.
-
Approval processes: Sustainability strategies and resistance prevention are increasingly becoming part of regulatory requirements.
Knowledge as a Competitive Advantage
The seed bank of a field forgets nothing – resistance can persist for years. Once established, combating it is time-consuming and costly – for both farmers and you as a provider.
Use scientific insights, field data, and strategic consulting to:
-
Detect resistance risks early
-
Integrate countermeasures into registration strategies
-
Support and protect your products in a targeted and long-term way
