REVISED, March 1 — Spring wheat growers will be able to use Everest herbicide for both grassy and broadleaf weed control this year by way of a new spin-off brand.
Arysta LifeScience has announced the roll-out of Everest GBX, which combines Everest’s Group 2 active ingredient flucarbazone with fluoroxypyr, a Group 4 active used in Altitude FX, Attain and other herbicides.
The new Everest product, “when combined with the grower’s choice of phenoxy, controls more weeds better than other single product on the market today” for wheat growers, the company said in a release Thursday.

With harvest pressure on canola over, the Canadian oilseed could track higher until spring, said David Derwin, commodity futures advisor for Ventum Financial in Winnipeg, Man. Although he cautioned there will be some rough patches along the way.
“The advantage of Everest GBX is its ability to be customized, based on individual weed spectrum and pressure,” Craig Brekkas, marketing and key account manager in Western Canada for Arysta, said in the release.
“Rates are flexible and can be changed based on your weed concerns providing a wide weed spectrum and economy at the same time.”
The Everest GBX combination can also be combined with 2,4-D or MCPA for “better” one-pass control of a broad spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds, the company said.
CORRECTION, March 1 –– An earlier version of this article stated that Everest GBX has received approval for release, when in fact the product is a co-pack of a previously registered tank mix. We regret the error.
