World Agricultural Chemical Network Chinese Website Reports: Syngenta recently announced that its newly developed herbicide metproxybicyclone has been officially recognized as a new chemical subclass by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA). This breakthrough marks a significant advancement in herbicide technology for addressing herbicide-resistant weeds, providing global farmers with an entirely new solution. Herbicide-resistant weeds have become a serious challenge facing global agriculture. Research shows that herbicide-resistant weeds have been discovered in over 100 crop varieties across 75 countries, with 40% being grass weeds. These weeds compete with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight, causing primary crop yields to decline by up to 43%. As herbicide-resistant weeds continue to evolve, the effectiveness of traditional herbicides is gradually weakening, seriously impacting the sustainability of agricultural ...
