ANTHEM FLEX HERBICIDE IMPREGNATION ON DRY FERTILIZER

Best Management Practices

  • Mix a 1:1 ratio of Anthem® Flex herbicide and water to create slurry.
  • Apply through nozzles that provide even distribution of herbicide on fertilizer granules.  
  • Coat Anthem Flex herbicide on dry fertilizer uniformly, avoid dry fertilizers that contain ammonium nitrate.  
  • Do not over rotate rotary drum mixers.  
  • Do not exceed 1 gallon of spray solution per ton of dry fertilizer. The addition of MAP may aid in drying, to avoid prills dissolving. 

Cleanout Procedures 

  • Declining weight batch mixers pose the least risk for contamination of herbicide into the next load of fertilizer.  
  • Having separate hoses/nozzles that apply only Anthem Flex herbicide is recommended.  
  • One nontreated load of fertilizer should be run through declining weight batch mixers before fertilizer application on non-labeled crops.  
  • Two nontreated loads of fertilizer should be run through rotary drum mixers before fertilizer application on non-labeled crops.
