Focus Herbicide has now been registered for fall usage in front of lentils, spring wheat, winter wheat, corn and soybeans. Set yourself up for success in the spring by controlling the nutrient-stealing weeds this fall. Watch FMC Product Manager Jordan Brisebois showcase the plot demo from our research trials in Hanley, SK.
4-H is the not-so-secret society of agriculture.
Those who grew up in the city often don’t understand but the power of the 4-H network isn’t a secret to the adults who showed a steer when they were a kid or took part in a 4-H public speaking competition. They know that being a 4-H member sets you up for success.
As soon as harvest is done, winter annual weeds start their growth cycle all over again and perennials move nutrients to the roots to build up reserves for the following season. The right approach to fall weed control can set growers up for success next spring, so let’s go back to school to learn how fall weeds can impact your fields! Watch this webinar for a product-agnostic approach to the value of weed management in the fall.
