Quick Facts
- Consistent burnoff and pre-emergent extended performance on tough-to-control grassy and broadleaf weeds.
- Concentrated liquid formulation.
- Multiple modes of action for resistance management.
- If there is a lack of adequate or normal soil moisture due to drought conditions, especially in June, July and August, following an application of Focus® herbicide, the minimum rotational crop interval described below must be extended for one additional year and a representative bioassay of the field must be conducted with the potential rotational crop and adequate soil moisture to determine the crop sensitivity to Focus® herbicide.

Product Overview
Focus® herbicide provides extended control of a broad range of grassy and broadleaf weeds, helping create a weed-free period for your crop to thrive at a critical point in the growing season. The early-season weed control also gives you more flexibility to complete your in-crop applications in other crops.
Focus® herbicide doesn’t bind to crop residues on the soil surface and can be tank-mixed with glyphosate for faster burnoff of emerged weeds. By combining modes of action from Groups 14 and 15, Focus® herbicide gives growers an effective way to control weeds resistant to other modes of action, and also avoid the buildup of future weed resistance.
Apply Focus® herbicide at either pre-seed or pre-emergence timing. Because it requires 15 to 25 mm of rain for activation, the product can be applied early in the season to maximize the chance of moisture activation. If you can’t be in the field to seed, or it’s too cool to spray glyphosate, that’s the time to get your Focus herbicide down.

Registered and Supported Tank Mixes:
- Glyphosate, 2, 4-D Ester (spring and winter wheat, except durum)
- Engenia herbicide
- Express® SG herbicide (soybean, spring (except durum) and winter wheat, field peas)

Timing: Focus® herbicide can be applied pre-plant or pre-emergence. Requires a minimum 1/2”of moisture, at once, for activation. Wheat, corn and lentils should be planted a minimum of 2.5 cm deep, soybean should be planted a minimum of 4 cm deep.
Application Information:
- Apply pre-plant or post-seed (up to 3 days after seeding)
- Early application (pre-plant) increases activation potential via spring showers. Post-seed application should be considered in higher disturbance situations.
- Apply at 33 or 40 ac/jug, based on soil characteristics
- Apply with or without glyphosate. Apply with glyphosate if weeds are emerged and actively growing.
- Apply only once per 12-month period.
- Do not apply Authority® Supreme herbicide (or any other product containing pyroxasulfone) in the spring to fields that were treated with applications of Focus herbicide (or any other product containing pyroxasulfone) during the previous fall. DO NOT follow a fall application of Focus® herbicide (or any other product containing pyroxasulfone) with a spring application of Authority® 480 herbicide (or any other product containing sulfentrazone) to fields where wheat will be planted. Focus® herbicide control weeds germinating within the soil barrier.
