Mapping the spread of herbicide resistance shows just how big a challenge it has become for growers today. With Syngenta, you get the most flexible portfolio of soybean herbicides on the market to meet your area’s needs. Build your soybean herbicide program below!
Every day that you’re late with a herbicide application beyond the critical early-growth period, you lose 1% of your soybean yield potential*. You need a flexible, integrated weed management plan of overlapping residuals to fight tough and resistant weeds. Explore your soybean herbicide options with our diverse portfolio.
Weed resistance management is a top concern on every grower’s mind. The actions you take to control tough weeds this season play a key role in the yield potential you will see at harvest and beyond.
Our agronomy experts who live and work in your area can help you craft the integrated weed management plan that fits your operation’s specific needs.

Tendovo™ herbicide is the preemergence soybean herbicide premix that allows growers to combat weeds without sacrificing crop safety.
Tavium® Plus VaporGrip® Technology herbicide is a premix featuring dicamba plus residual control that manages key broadleaf and grass weeds.
Boundary® 6.5 EC herbicide gives ALS- and PPO-resistant weeds a one-two punch that they don’t see coming.
BroadAxe® XC herbicide manages beyond the basic weeds that evade most other herbicides.
Prefix® herbicide provides maximum weed management on either side of planting.
Flexstar® GT 3.5 herbicide is the post-emergence partner in a full-season weed management program for Midwest growers.
Acuron® GT outperforms and outyields any other post-emergence-plus-residual corn herbicide because it contains the unique active ingredient bicyclopyrone.
Acuron® herbicide combines four active ingredients and three effective sites of action to deliver more effective and more consistent weed control than any other product.
Acuron® Flexi herbicide defeats tough weeds with added flexibility.
Halex® GT herbicide provides Glyphosate with Residual™ broadleaf weed and grass control.
Lexar® EZ herbicide combines three active ingredients and three effective sites of action for long-lasting residual control of annual grass and broadleaf weeds.
Lumax® EZ herbicide combines three active ingredients and three effective sites of action for long-lasting residual control of annual grass and broadleaf weeds.
Talinor® herbicide delivers excellent standalone control to tough broadleaf weeds in wheat and barley. Now growers can get efficient, one-pass grass and broadleaf weed control with multiple modes of action by tank-mixing Talinor with Axial® Bold or Axial Star herbicides.
The first glyphosate-resistant weed identified in U.S. row crops in 2000, marestail is a dangerous weed. It produces up to 200,000 seeds/plant and grows up to 5-6 feet tall. The seeds are highly mobile, which results in rapid spread.
Marestail usually germinates in fall and spring, but can germinate year-round.
Waterhemp produces up to 1 million seeds/plant and can grow as much as 1 inch/day. The average height is 4-5 feet tall, with some weeds reaching up to 12-feet tall.
The pollen from these weeds can travel ½ a mile or more and because of the cross pollination that occurs, resistance can spread quickly.
Palmer amaranth thrives in reduced-, minimum- or no-tillage systems because it germinates close to the soil surface. It can produce 10,000 to 100,000 seeds/plant and has the potential to overtake the crop due to its rapid growth and aggressive competition. Palmer amaranth is more competitive than other pigweed species, with a growth rate approaching 3 inches/day.
When allowed to compete throughout the growing season, Palmer amaranth can create yield losses of up to 91% in corn and 79% in soybeans. It can reach 8 feet in height.
Once established, morningglory is very tough to control with post-emergent herbicide applications. It competes with corn and soybeans for nutrients and has the potential to reduce yield.
Morningglory can produce up to 500 seeds/plant, and, due to an extremely hard seed coat, some seeds can remain viable in the soil for more than 50 years.
Research shows that season-long competition from giant ragweed can lead to crop losses of 30 to 90%.
Giant ragweed often grows taller higher than the crop, sometimes up to 5 feet taller. It can produce up to 5,100 seeds per plant.
