Product Overview
Authority 480 herbicide is a powerful, flexible pre-emergent Group 14 herbicide that provides extended activity on challenging broadleaf weeds in soybeans and many other crops.
Authority 480 herbicide can be applied alone or can be tank-mixed with glyphosate and other registered partners. Its convenient liquid formulation ensures ease of use and mixing.
Ideal for IP soybeans, Authority 480 herbicide controls many of the most troublesome weeds you face. These include lamb’s-quarters, pigweeds, Eastern black nightshade and common waterhemp. Plus, it works well with herbicide-resistant soybeans, too.
Authority 480 herbicide can be applied pre-plant or pre-emergence (with or without glyphosate) in IP or glyphosate tolerant soybeans and will alleviate pressure from flushing weeds.
Its track record in both Canada and the U.S. demonstrates that Authority 480 herbicide combines excellent weed control and crop safety. And, it's effective against resistant weeds. As a Group 14, Authority 480 herbicide controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including those resistant to Groups 9, 5 and 2 and adds crabgrass control as a bonus.
In addition to glyphosate, Authority 480 herbicide has multiple options for tank-mixing.
