Solutions for all Situations

Wet Spring

If you are in an area where frost extended more than a foot into the soil and had heavy snowfall throughout the winter, you probably got a late start heading to the fields.  With time at a premium in a normal year, you might have chosen to forego a pre-plant or pre-emergence herbicide application.  With the advancements in today's herbicide technology, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice weed control.  Capreno^® herbicide is a postemergence product that can be applied to corn through the V5 growth stage, holding grass and broadleaf weeds back until canopy.

Normal or Dry Spring 

If you are in a region that didn't have extreme cold or what seemed like a winter of endless snow, your spring might seem normal. You got in the field early enough to prep the soil and apply a pre-plant or pre-emergence herbicide; it even appears planting will wrap up during the optimum timeframe.

That doesn't mean the season will continue to be normal. Should the summer take a turn for the drier, as some experts suggest, you might need to re-evaluate your weed management. Depending on what you applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, that residual control might be lost. With the exception of Corvus^® herbicide, which can reactivate after a dry spell with just a half-inch of rain, many other herbicides permanently lose the ability to provide residual control when dry weather hits.
