Agriculture RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 1,000 global field and green house trials show Harpe Bioherbicide Solutions, Inc., plant extract-based herbicides provide effective control against a broad spectrum of broadleaf and grass weeds and seeds including the most challenging resistant weeds farmers face.
Key Points:
- The innovation comes as consumers are demanding more natural approaches to food production and farmers are having more difficulty managing yield-robbing weeds.
- "Fewer, less effective weed control options mean reduced yields, increased costs and more pressure on farmer viability."
- Since 1984, herbicide resistant weeds have increased by more than 600% globally and require farmers to increase spending and apply more herbicides than ever before to achieve some level of control.
- Contact Daniel Pepitone at [email protected] to discuss Harpe Bio's role in the future of natural weed control solutions.
