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.
