Crops that lodge due to high moisture or severe wind conditions may suffer lower yields due to poor grain fill or even lost grain. Lodged crops may also be more susceptible to disease infection, which impacts quality.
Late last year, Syngenta received the all-clear for a new plant growth regulator (PGR) called Moddus, that helps strengthen stems to reduce lodging risk.
Moddus contains trinexapac-ethyl, a proven active ingredient for managing cereal crop lodging. The product works by redirecting the plant’s production of gibberellic acid, a hormone responsible for growth, to reduce cell elongation, which results in shorter, thicker stems and improved standability overall.
