Correct me if I'm wrong, but Balance GT beans will NOT be tolerant of POST applications of Balance (Isoxaflutole) they will be tolerant of pre-plant and burndown applications, but are also glyphosate tolerant for planned 2nd pass of glyphosate and other traditional post products.
Also, I think the Balance will be a slightly different formulation than the Balance Flex currently labeled for corn. Perhaps a formulation more like the old original Balance without the safener.

How will the Balance™ GT system compare to other weed management systems?

The Balance™ GT system will be unique in terms of flexibility and efficacy. Both of its supported herbicides, glyphosate and Balance® Bean, can be used in burndown or pre-emergence applications. Glyphosate can also be used in post-emergence applications. Additionally, Balance® Bean’s unique reactivation technology will provide dependable long-lasting residual control. Balance® Bean’s use rate will be extremely low — a fraction of the use rates for Dicamba and 2,4-D. Through its use in corn, isoxaflutole (the active ingredient in Balance® Bean) has proven to be non-volatile.

What will be the application window of Balance® Bean?

Balance® Bean will be able to be applied burndown or pre-plant (as much as 21 days prior to planting) up to emergence.



I was at an event last summer promoting balance GT beans. I was talking with someone and if I remember correctly they said the Balance GT beans are uneffected by in crop application of the Balance Bean herbicide but they were focusing on preplant stuff for the registration approval process.

I told them it's neat but until they have them approved for in crop use it's pretty much dead in the water. There are options for preplant chemistries that still work well. It's in crop residuals that we are very limited on.
