Registrations |
Corn (Field, seed and sweet), dry beans (kidney,
otebo and white), soybeans, dry bulb onions and non-bearing grape
vines. |
| Sensitive Weeds |
Green
and yellow
foxtail, barnyard
grass, fall
panicum, witch
grass, large
and smooth
crab grass, redroot
pigweed and eastern
black nightshade and tall waterhemp. Yellow
nut sedge can be controlled with a preplant incorporated application. |
| Uptake and Translocation |
Absorbed through shoots and roots of germinating
grass and broadleaf weeds but primarily via plant coleoptile. |
| Basis of Selectivity |
Not established. |
| Application Methods |
Preplant incorporated - incorporate with vibrating
shank cultivator, harrow or other implement capable of giving
uniform shallow incorporation into the top 5 cm of the soil
within 7 days of planting;
Preemergence - rainfall is required within
10 days of appliation to achieve sufficient herbicide activation;
Early postemergence (corn only) - apply at
the spike to 2-leaf stage of corn and up to the 2-leaf stage
of annual grass weeds. |
| Residual Activity |
Provides season-long weed control. Length of residual
activity depends upon soil and moisture factors, application rate
and timing. Heavy rainfall following an incorporated treatment
may reduce weed control. |
| Unique Characteristics |
No recropping restrictions in the fall or spring
application in corn or soybeans. Application flexibility; there
are many tank-mix and sequential treatment options for broad-spectrum
weed control in corn and soybeans in all tillage systems (zero
tillage to conventional tillage). Mixes well with bulk liquid
and dry fertilizers. |
