The two companies will offer farmers new combination packages for 2016 including:

"As a leader in providing sustainable weed management solutions, we're again collaborating with BASF to ensure growers have all the flexibility and tools they need to ensure diversity in their crop rotations," said Jennifer Ewankiw, Crop Protection Marketing Manager, at Monsanto Canada.
The two companies have collaborated in the past on best practices and herbicides, stressing the use of multiple course of actions and tools needed to produce successful crops, and looking toward the 2016 growing season, the collaboration will further benefit farmers with the inclusion of fungicide combinations.
