Bayer launches Merlin Total in El Salvador

Bayer CropScience has reportedly launched the suspension concentrate formulation herbicide, Merlin Total (isoxaflutole + indaziflam), in El Salvador. The product recently debuted in neighbouring Guatemala and is a new formulation of its traditional Merlin herbicide. It is a pre-emergent herbicide for use on sugar cane for the control of grassy and broad-leaved weeds, national media report. Bayer gained its first approval for indaziflam in the US in 2010 as Specticle. It was launched in Chile as Alion the following year.
