Treevix™ Herbicide from BASF Receives California Registration

Treevix™ herbicide, powered by Kixor® herbicide technology from BASF’s Crop Protection division, has received approval from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation for use in California, giving tree nut, pome fruit and citrus growers another tool to fight yield-robbing broadleaf weeds in their orchards.

Treevix offers a unique chemistry that complements glyphosate for fast, complete burndown of more than 60 of the toughest broadleaf weeds including difficult species, such as common groundsel, hairy fleabane, cheeseweed and pigweed.

“PCAs in California have struggled with finding an effective way to address difficult weeds,” said Brandie Penrose, Technical Marketing Specialist, BASF. “Treevix offers the perfect balance – a product that provides the functionality needed to effectively manage tough weeds while being easy to work with.”

Some of the key features of Treevix include:

Unique chemistry designed to target tough weeds
Tree-safe, non-volatile
Ideal tank-mix partner to enhance broadleaf weed control
Flexible application timing
Short pre-harvest application window
Simple to use

Treevix is designed to be easily tank-mixed. Extensive research in California and around the country has demonstrated that Treevix can boost the effectiveness of other products in the tank, such as glyphosate, providing the additional power needed to knock out weeds that other herbicides may be missing.

“BASF has been working with PCAs in California to evaluate the effectiveness of Treevix,” said Penrose. “Key features PCAs have mentioned are the fast knockdown of tough broadleaf weeds and the excellent tree safety.”

Additionally, Treevix provides more flexible pre-harvest interval timing- a seven-day PHI for nut trees and no PHI for citrus or pome fruit. This helps ensure a clean orchard floor for harvest, even in areas where late season weeds are present.

Treevix is part of the Kixor family of products, designed to offer growers a customized solution to increase broadleaf weed control in fields and orchards and help them get the most out of every acre.
