If you’re planning to add another mode of action or two to your spring glyphosate application, it’s best to choose unique modes of action that give you the freedom to use the in-crop options that fit your farm.
Nevertheless, you probably know that there is a shortage of in-crop herbicide options for lentils and other pulse crops, which puts pressure on your pre-seed application because you want to start the season as close to weed-free as possible. And it’s no secret that if your crops emerge into a weedy field, you face an uphill climb to finish with a high-yielding crop.
FOCUS® HERBICIDE
Focus® herbicide provides a complete weed control solution and a great option for delaying herbicide resistance. In one easy-to-use product, you have broad-spectrum broadleaf and grassy weed control for enhanced pre-seed burnoff plus extended control.
Focus® herbicide can be applied pre-seed, pre-emergence or in the fall, with or without glyphosate. Because it contains Group 14 and 15 modes of action, it’s a smart change of pace from more familiar add-in modes of action, especially those that could be needed in-crop later in the season.
Now you can save Groups 2 and 4 for your in-crop application, giving you an effective herbicide layering strategy. Focus® herbicide is a dependable way to start your growing season off strong, with fewer weed headaches the rest of the way.
For activation, Focus® herbicide requires at least ½ inch of moisture. Applying Focus® herbicide in the fall can achieve the necessary activation via snowmelt and/or capturing those early spring showers. This will optimize the early-season control of labelled weeds the following spring.
AUTHORITY STRIKE™ HERBICIDE
New Authority Strike™ herbicide delivers two powerful Group 14’s in one pass: a fast, effective burnoff to start followed by long-lasting extended control to stop weed escapes in chickpeas, field peas, faba beans, soybeans and more.
With two proven Group 14 modes of action — carfentrazone-ethyl (foliar burnoff) and sulfentrazone (extended soil-applied) — Authority Strike™ herbicide is active on redroot pigweed, lamb’s-quarters, cleavers, kochia and wild buckwheat.
Apply before or up to 3 days after seeding with glyphosate for an enhanced burnoff. For the extended weed control portion, Authority Strike™ herbicide requires 1/2” of moisture all at once for activation.
