Product Overview
Get a head start on next spring with Focus® NXT herbicide. Applied post-harvest with glyphosate, Focus® NXT herbicide combines Groups 2, 9, 14 and 15 to control emerged broadleaf weeds while providing extended control or suppression of grassy and broadleaf weeds the following spring.
The Group 2, 9 and 14 actives strengthen fall burnoff of weeds including kochia, flixweed, stinkweed, wild buckwheat and volunteer canola. Group 15 activity provides extended control of weeds including downy brome, Japanese brome and cleavers, with suppression of wild oats, kochia and other key weeds.
With multiple modes of action, Focus® NXT herbicide also supports resistance management while helping give spring wheat a cleaner start. Applied to the soil surface in the fall, the extended-control active is moved into the soil by rainfall or snow, putting residual weed control in place for the following spring.
