An additional tank-mix partner is
now available with Liberty corn herbicide – Distinct herbicide.
The new tank mix is registered for post-emergent use for
LibertyLink® corn, in Eastern Canada and British Columbia, for
enhanced control of annual broadleaf weeds.
Liberty (Group 10) controls a broad spectrum of grassy and
broadleaf weeds in corn. Together with Distinct (Group 4), the
tank mix provides better control of some of the toughest
broadleaf weeds, including waterhemp, Canada thistle and
ALS-resistant weeds.
“The addition of Distinct to the label means corn growers now
have six tank-mix partners to choose with Liberty for
post-emergent weed control on LibertyLink corn,” said Greg Good,
Portfolio Manager, Row Crops for Bayer CropScience. “When
growers need to boost broadleaf control, particularly on tougher
weeds, this tank mix is a great tool to have at hand.”
The Liberty/Distinct tank mix is used from the two- to six-leaf
stage of corn, with best results when applied to actively
growing weeds. Application rates for the new tank mix are 1.5
L/ha or 2.0 L/ha of Liberty 200 SN (rate depends on weed
species) + 285 g/ha of Distinct.
