Wheat growers in the UK will have a new herbicide at their disposal next spring to tackle a wide range of grass and broad-leaved weeds. Announcing registration on the 19th of December 2024, Broadway® Ultra builds on the success of Broadway® Star which has been a mainstay of early-season weed control for 14 years.
Corteva has now combined pyroxsulam and mesosulfuron-methyl in the new Broadway Ultra formulation, offering arable farmers the ability to control an extensive spectrum of weeds in a single pass.

Herbicide resistance occurs naturally. It is the inherited ability for a weed to survive a herbicide application that would normally control it.
Herbicide resistance in broad-leaved weeds is relatively rare when compared to resistance in grass weeds such as blackgrass or ryegrass, but incidence is on the increase and there is concern that it may now be found in further species.

The majority of broad-leaved weeds are not an issue in the autumn or early spring, many being well controlled through residual chemistry. However, the warm autumn, high seed return from last season and the use of narrower spectrum residual chemistry will result in poor control of many difficult, yield robbing weeds.

It is tempting to think that once drilling is complete and a pre-emergence herbicide has been applied, you can shut the gate and not think about weeds again until the spring. Unfortunately, this is not the case for cereal growers who face the annual challenge of grass weeds and broad-leaved weeds.
Hugh Guinan, Corteva’s Field Technical Manager for Cereal Herbicides, shares essential strategies for managing these weeds in his latest article. Hugh discusses the importance of continuous weed control beyond initial herbicide applications, highlighting the challenges faced by growers and the necessity of a well-planned autumn herbicide programme.
Learn how to identify target weeds, choose the right chemical options, and time your applications effectively. The article also emphasises the benefits of integrated weed management (IWM), combining cultural, non-chemical, and chemical controls for sustainable and efficient weed control.
Whether you’re dealing with early-drilled crops or facing weather-related challenges, with some solid planning and best practices, you’ll be off to a good start in managing your cereal crops this autumn. Read more here.

New data from a Corteva Agriscience survey shows that 80% of respondents have populations on their farms with the vast majority estimating it to be infesting up to 25% of their winter wheat area in 2023.
Cultural control methods such as rotational planning, delayed drilling and ploughing are being deployed on every farm involved in the research, and the brome problem has been shown to exist in all the main wheat-growing regions of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Alister McRobbie, Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, said: “This work provides more clarity on how widespread brome issues are and the various approaches being taken to reduce populations.
