Aim ^tm is a new PPO chemistry developed by FMC Corporation that has been registered as a herbicide on several grain crops as a reduced risk chemistry. The compound has several favorable attributes as a crop production tool, including fast activity, no soil carryover potential, and additive activity with several other herbicides. Aim ^tm is well into development as a post-directed herbicide and as a harvest aid in cotton. Development activities over the last 4 years have examined potential harvest aid uses for Aim ^tm in cotton at various rates and with several different potential mixture partners. Results have shown excellent additive activity for defoliation, desiccation, and regrowth control with Aim ^tm combined with key cotton harvest aid products, as well as good activity with Aim ^tm standalone in single or sequential applications. Development of Aim ^tm as a cotton harvest aid will continue with further studies to optimize activity for an expected registration and launch in the near future.
