ANKENY, Iowa, March 2, 2023 — Albaugh is pleased to announce that the company has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Caballero™ herbicide (EPA Reg No. 42750-375). Product will be available for sale this spring.
Caballero is a premix formulation of clopyralid and flumetsulam, designed for use on herbicide-resistant (including Roundup Ready® or LibertyLink®) and conventional field corn and silage corn. The concentrated formulation allows ease of mixing with acetochlor or metolachlor to broaden the spectrum of control of a variety of weed species while reducing handling, storage and disposal costs.
