Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor synergies: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Weed resistance to single-mode herbicides increases crop loss risks and chemical costs. These formulations utilize specific PPO-inhibitor combinations to restore efficacy and prevent metabolic bypass.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor synergies?

Insufficient weed control spectrum

(29)evidences

Narrow efficacy ranges and weed resistance limit the utility of single-active herbicide applications. Expanding the control spectrum prevents crop yield loss from surviving competitive vegetation.

Insufficient weed control spectrum

(16)evidences

Individual herbicides often fail to control a sufficiently broad range of resistant or diverse weed species. Expanding the efficacy range prevents crop yield loss and reduces the need for multiple separate applications.

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor resistance

(8)evidences

Existing chemical controls fail to eliminate biotypes that have evolved tolerance or resistance mechanisms. Overcoming this survival ensures effective crop protection and prevents yield loss.

Insufficient weed control spectrum

(4)evidences

Individual herbicides often fail to control a broad range of weed species or resistant biotypes. Expanding the control spectrum prevents crop yield loss and reduces the survival of noxious weeds.
