Arysta LifeScience recently announced the launch of EVEREST® 2.0 SL in Pakistan. Containing flucarbazone-sodium as its active ingredient, EVEREST 2.0 SL is a new herbicide chemistry for cross-spectrum control of both grasses and broadleaf weeds in wheat.

“If not controlled, weeds can decrease wheat yields by 25 to 35 percent, depending on weed density,” explained Amir Jafri, Country Manager – Pakistan, Arysta LifeScience. “The cross-spectrum weed control of EVEREST 2.0 will help maximize yields on the estimated 8.9 million hectares in Pakistan where wheat is grown.”

Having conducted in-house trials and more than 500 field demonstrations, the company says it is targeting to reach 30,000-45,000 acres (12-18 hectares) of wheat this season.
