| Abstract/Contents: | "AccorddRG XRT II herbicide is a new improved "high-load" glyphosate formulation from Dow AgroSciences LLC. This new glyphosate offering is the result of years of research efforts to produce a superior formulation and proprietary surfactant package that is a high-load concentrated product aimed at professional vegetation managers in Utilities, Railroads & Highway Rights-of-way and Industrial Sites. Accord XRT II is a unique glyphosate DMA salt formulation of glyphosate. This DMA based amine is a high load 50.2% or 5.06 pound ai per gallon (39.6% or 4.00 lb ae/gallon) formulation that is more convenient for end users to manage, transport and dispense due to higher loading than most other competitive offerings - usually only 4 lb/gallon formulations. Accord XRT II is the same formulation and loading as Dow AgroSciences Glyphomax® XRT and Durango® herbicides. Accord XRT II has significantly lower viscosity than Accord® XRT herbicide for improved handling, pouring, measuring and bulk/mini-bulk handling and pumping characteristics. It is also an excellent formulation for use in 2,4-D and other tank mixtures. Accord XRT II will be available for sale and use in early 2008. Research was conducted in 2006 and 2007 to evaluate the performance of Accord XRT II vs Accord XRT, and to compare performance to competitive standards Razor Pro and Gly Star Plus. Field trials were conducted in grass and broadleaf weed field studies and in woody brush field studies. Results from 2006 and 2007 field trials on broadleaf weeds and grasses - a total of 17 grass/weeds were evaluated in 2006 and 14 grass/weeds were evaluated in 2007 as part of the project for a total of 31 weeds in 10 field trials. Based on 2006 field trials, the performance of Accord XRT II was generally equivalent to Accord® XRT herbicide on 8 species, however there was a slight trend (no sig diff) for better control with Accord XRT II vs Accord XRT at the 0.75 lb ae/acre rate on 7 species and there was a slight trend (no sig diff) for Accord XRT II to be less effective that Accord XRT on only 2 species. Results from 2007 field trials demonstrated that Accord® XRT II herbicide was equivalent to Accord XRT on 12 of the 14 species evaluated and performance differed only slightly (no sig diff) on 2 species. Overall, results from 2 years of field research trials, no significant differences or trends were identified between Accord XRT II or Accord XRT vs the competitive standards - Razor Pro and Gly Star Plus on broadleaf weeds and grasses. Also, no differences in speed of brownup were noted in any of the trials between Accord XRT II or Accord® XRT herbicides vs the competitive standards. Research findings from 2006 brush trials (evaluated in 2007) are showing differences between Accord XRT II vs Accord XRT and the competitive standards for pine control. These data are providing strong indications (sig diff, p=.05) that Accord XRT II is a better pine control product than Accord XRT and the competitive standards, Razor Pro and Gly Star Plus. Results from the 2006 Virginia trial demonstrated year after control of loblolly pine at the 2 lb ae/acre rate of Accord® XRT II herbicide averaged 95% control vs Accord XRT averaging 60%; compared to Razor Pro averaging 60% control and Gly Star Plus averaging 25% control. Results from the 2006 Georgia trial demonstrated year after control of loblolly pine at the 4 lb ae/acre rate of Accord XRT II averaged 80% control vs Accord XRT averaging 67%; compared to Razor Pro averaging 23% control and Gly Star Plus averaging 40% control of loblolly pine. Hardwoods species evaluated in the Virginia and Georgia trials were Sweetgum (LIQST), Red Maple (ACRRB), Red Oak (QUEFC), Yellow Poplar (LIRTU), White Oak (QUEAL), Cherry (PRNSO), Elm (ULMSS), Persimmon (DOSVI) and Dogwood (CRWSS). In general, no significant differences or trends at any of the rates evaluated were noted between Accord XRT II vs Accord XRT, or when compared to the competitive standards Razor Pro and Gly Star Plus on any of the hardwood species evaluated in these trials. Based on these data, performance of Accord® XRT II herbicide on hardwood brush was equal to Accord XRT and the competitive standards, Razor Pro and Gly Star Plus." |
