YOUR FALL HERBICIDE APPLICATION CAN BUILD YOUR COMMUNITY

For every acre of FMC fall herbicide you spray, we will donate up to 10 cents per acre to an organization that serves your local community.

Product Overview

A vigorous start for your field peas, chickpeas, soybeans and sunflowers is important for maximizing yield potential.

A fall application of Authority® Supreme herbicide, applied with or without glyphosate, can help keep fields clean in the early spring to give you time to seed into a clean field for a vigorous start. It provides extended 2-in-1 protection against many tough grassy and broadleaf weeds – while spreading out your workload between fall and spring.

Authority® Supreme herbicide requires moisture to be activated. By applying in the fall, it will move into soil water with the snowmelt and/or an early spring rainfall, becoming available for uptake by emerging weeds. By controlling weeds before they emerge in the spring, there’s less competition for water and nutrients. That means a better start for your crop.

Many weeds are resistant to one or more herbicide Groups. The actives in Authority® Supreme herbicide provide activity on the following resistant weeds: redroot pigweed (Groups 2 and 5), lamb’s-quarters (Group 2), cleavers (Groups 2 and 4), kochia (Groups 2 and 9), wild buckwheat (Group 2) and wild oats (Group 1).
