Amino heterocyclic picolinate herbicides: Corteva AgriscienceRecent Research Landscape

Weed resistance in maize and wheat crops necessitates specific heterocyclic substitutions to maintain herbicidal stability and plant tolerance.

What technical problems is Corteva Agriscience addressing in Amino heterocyclic picolinate herbicides?

Five-membered ring bioactivity

(5)evidences

Existing weed control methods fail to effectively manage undesirable vegetation in crops without specific heterocyclic herbicidal compounds.

Crop selectivity limitations

(1)evidences

Standard herbicides often lack the necessary spectrum selective control or storage stability required to eliminate resistant weed species in crop areas.

Resistant weed biotypes

(2)evidences

Kochia scoparia and Papaver rhoeas have developed resistance to existing herbicides, necessitating new chemical structures to overcome tolerance mechanisms.
