A joint agreement that will greatly expand the availability of the Clearfield Production System herbicide-tolerance trait has been announced by BASF and Dow AgroSciences.

Since the new millennium means new decisions, technical representatives from American Cyanamid, Zeneca Ag Products, Aventis CropScience and Monsanto outlined new compounds and label changes for no-till corn to help the 715 attendees at the National No-Tillage Conference last January in Des Moines, Iowa.
