 A
new herbicide blend will allow Western Canadian cereal growers
to really turn up the heat on their glyphosate burn-off this
spring. New DuPont™ Express®
PRO herbicide will deliver superior, extended control of some of
the toughest broadleaf weeds, including several weeds that
escape glyphosate alone.
“More and more growers are using a pre-seed burn-off to get a
head-start on their weed control,” says Jon Gough, DuPont
product manager for cereals. “Glyphosate alone may not give them
adequate control on tough weeds like dandelion, narrow-leaved
hawk’s-beard or volunteer Roundup Ready® canola. Express® PRO
will provide growers with the additional pre-seed weed control
they need to plant into a cleaner seedbed and get their crops
off to a better start.”
Newly registered DuPont™ Express® PRO herbicide offers powerful
weed control that was specifically designed for use as non-crop
weed control pre-seed to wheat (spring, durum and winter) and
barley, for use in chem-fallow and post-harvest prior to wheat
and barley.
Express® PRO will provide extended control of key broadleaf
weeds including dandelion, narrow-leaved hawk’s beard and
volunteer Roundup Ready® canola for up to 15 days following
application.
“It’s the outstanding control from Express® PRO that will make
growers sit up and take notice,” says Gough. “It delivers
results that go far beyond what can be achieved by simply
applying more glyphosate and the extended control will help
growers manage second flushes of some key problem weeds.”
Express® PRO combines two active ingredients using patented
homogenous blend technology from DuPont. They act in synergy to
provide powerful broadleaf weed control. When Express® PRO is
tank-mixed with ½ L equivalent of glyphosate, growers get
control of broadleaf weeds from two herbicide groups, namely
Groups 2 and 9. That means growers get an excellent resistance
management tool from their non-crop weed control.
“Growers have come to count on Express® SG, which is now the
most widely used herbicide added to glyphosate in non-crop
applications,” says Gough. “With Express® PRO, growers now have
a second tool for outstanding non-crop weed control. Depending
on their key weed targets, agronomic requirements or cropping
plans, growers can now choose between new Express® PRO and
Express® SG.”
Express® PRO is powered by Solumax® soluble granules, so it
dissolves completely in solution for fast and easy sprayer
cleanout and fast, effective and consistent weed control
results.
Growers can seed wheat (spring, durum and winter) and spring
barley 24 hours after application. They can rotate to canola or
peas 10 months after spraying. Growers are limited to one
application of Express® PRO per year.
