The recently passed and signed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act identifies integrated vegetation management (IVM) for support. This support seems intended to further enable IVM successes, including pollinator-friendly practices, while minimizing the adverse effects of herbicides and other current IVM practices.
A search of ten large, publicly-traded chemical companies websites that market herbicides found that two of them, BASF and Corteva, have well-defined and described IVM programs at their websites. BASF indicates that its program, in the use of its herbicides, provides a more effective, fully integrated, and environmentally responsible approach to managing vegetation then moving and other mechanical means alone.

Corteva at its site (click here) indicates that its IVM program delivers new broad-spectrum vegetation management, including a new herbicide, offering advanced weed and brush control, with selectivity to desirable species.
The Infrastructure and Jobs Act offers many provisions
important to chemical companies. Click

companies good opportunities for business.
Being prepared with services and products, as BASF and Corteva seem to
be with respect to IVM, should help in taking advantage of such opportunities.
