Here is some simple advice that will help to alleviate stress around herbicide supply in the spring of 2023.

  • It’s never too early to discuss your herbicide needs with your supplier. As soon as harvest is complete, you should consider meeting with your crop input supplier and providing them with details of your cropping plans next year. This will enable them to recommend suitable weed management solutions and provide details of anticipated supply and estimated costs.
  • An excellent way to reduce concerns about spring/pre-plant herbicide availability is to adopt a post-harvest weed management program while weather and other conditions allow. Nufarm is proud to have one of the most comprehensive post-harvest herbicide portfolios in the industry. Please consult your crop input supplier for details and/or refer to the crop solution tabs on this website.
  •  Not all herbicide products may be severely impacted by supply constraints. If you find that products you have used in the past are hard to get, consult specialist such as state extension websites or agronomists/consultants in your area that may be able to recommend alternative solutions.

Even though we can’t accurately predict when supply constraints will be alleviated, monitoring the indicators featured below may help to judge how trends in the various factors that impact supply lead to what can be called “Recovery Mode.”
