Corteva launches Resicore REV herbicide

INDIANAPOLIS — Corteva Agriscience announced the launch of Resicore REV herbicide for pre- and post-emergence corn weed control on June 5.

The herbicide will be available for growers in 2025.

“This new high-performance formulation will provide corn farmers a strong start to their weed-control programs,” said Nick Burke, U.S. product manager of corn herbicides at Corteva Agriscience.

“Resicore REV herbicide offers increased application options and the proven weed control efficacy farmers have come to trust from Resicore herbicide, giving them the peace of mind that comes with clean cornfields.”

The herbicide provides weed control for more than 75 broadleaf weeds and grasses. It offers farmers greater application flexibility on corn up to 24 inches in height.

The product was also designed with other factors in mind, such as increased crop safety, improved handling and tank-mix compatibility, which ultimately leads to greater yield potential.

“Resicore REV herbicide will not only help corn farmers overcome their weed control challenges for one season, but also will help set them up for better field management down the road,” Burke said.

“By providing premier efficacy and the flexibility to work across a multitude of management programs, Resicore REV herbicide will bring farmers the confidence of knowing they’re helping sustain the longevity of the weed control tools and technologies they currently rely on.”
