Product Overview
Focus® NXT herbicide is a powerful pre-seed co-pack solution designed specifically for spring wheat (excluding durum) in Western Canada's black soil zone. With multiple modes of action (Group 2, 14 and 15), it controls flushing volunteer canola, and offers extended control of tough broadleaf weeds and suppression of wild oats while helping manage herbicide resistance.
Focus® NXT herbicide must be tank-mixed with glyphosate, which allows for a rapid burndown and a cleaner start. With lasting residual activity, Focus® NXT herbicide provides flexibility for in-crop spraying and a strong foundation for higher yields.

Tech Specs
GROUPS 2 | 14 | 15
Crops: Spring Wheat (excluding durum)
Chemical groups: Group 14, 15 + Group 2
Active ingredients: Pyroxasulfone, carfentrazone-ethyl, florasulam
Application information:
-
Apply pre-plant
-
Early application (pre-plant) increases activation potential via spring showers
-
Apply at 33 ac/jug
-
Must be applied with glyphosate (minimum 182 g ae/acre)
-
Apply only once per 12-month period. Do not use in successive years at the same site.
-
Do not apply Focus® NXT to fields that were treated with products containing sulfentrazone, pyroxasulfone or saflufenacil the previous fall.
-
Focus® NXT herbicide controls broadleaf weeds at burndown and broadleaf and grassy weeds germinating within the soil barrier.
Soil parameters:
-
DO NOT use on peat or muck soils and soils with 7% or more organic matter content.
-
DO NOT use on soils with a pH greater than 7.8.
-
DO NOT apply to soils classified as sand containing less than 3% organic matter. Focus® NXT herbicide is intended for use on soils with more than 3% organic matter.
Water volume: 10 gal/ac (100 L/ha)
Activation: 15 to 25 mm (min 1/2 inch) of rainfall required, at once
Required tank mix: Glyphosate
Timing: Pre-seed
Surfactant: Not required
Mixing instructions: Fill spray tank one-half to two-thirds full of water. With agitator operating, add the recommended amount of ingredients using the WAMLEGS order.
Order: Add Focus® herbicide – Add Spitfire® 50 SC herbicide – Fill spray tank with water – Add Glyphosate
Crop rotation:
12 months: barley, canola, peas, wheat
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® NXT herbicide, the minimum rotational crop interval described above 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® NXT herbicide.
