Exacto is Expanding Services Beyond Chemical Development

With changing weather patterns, increasing pesticide resistance, new market requirements, and modified chemical technologies, the required knowledge for agriculture, horticulture, and industrial vegetation management continues to expand. To stay ahead of these changes, Exacto continues to amplify its solution-based capabilities and services it offers to increase focus on research-proven results.
Spray chamber testing
As part of our research & development and contract research offerings, Exacto utilizes an extensive in-house chemical laboratory that received significant upgrades earlier this year. With the continued focus to ensure state-of-the-art services, such as a spray chamber, Exacto also invested in a fully controlled growth room equipped with an incubator chamber, to enable plant testing year-round. This facilitates faster and continuous data collection to determine the effect of chemicals used instead of waiting for subsequent in-field testing in the spring. In addition, our new advanced WinRhizo root growth analyzer delivers more precise data on how plants are affected in their basic growing capabilities to provide more insight into the impact of applications.

“We are excited to continue growing our offerings to customers that help them make more informed decisions about what adjuvants suit their active ingredient and end-user needs best,” says Lacey Dellinger, VP of Customer Solutions. “Being able to get accurate measurements on the effect of adding adjuvants to pesticides will better help mitigate weed resistance challenges for current and new technologies. In addition, our in-house contract research capabilities will enable all who are looking to create proprietary active ingredient products as well.”

Optimizing Pre-emergence Herbicide Applications with Adjuvants

Pre-emergence herbicide applications offer a valuable tool to prevent or reduce weed infestations early in the season. While these applications are helpful, it can be a challenge to achieve optimum results. Adjuvant use is increasing and studies continue to prove their effectiveness.

Exacto Heads to Capitol Hill

Leaders from Exacto and other companies recently took part in advocacy activities in Washington, DC, engaging in twenty-four meetings with congressional leadership, senators, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They addressed a major challenge related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Is Herbicide Resistance the Only Cause of Poor Weed Control?

Failed weed control may resemble herbicide resistance, but it’s not always the culprit. Recent cases of HPPD-inhibitor (group 27) herbicide failures have shown that certain application errors are more common culprits than resistance. This research shows ways to overcome these application challenges.
