START CLEAN, STAY CLEAN

Deploy multiple sites of action in a layered residual program for superior soybean weed control.

OVERLAPPING RESIDUAL HERBICIDE ACTION PLAN: 

  1. Start with a strong preemergence residual herbicide, such as an Authority® brand herbicide.

  2. Follow-up 14 to no more than 28 days later with an overlapping residual, Anthem® MAXX herbicide.

WHY LAYER RESIDUAL HERBICIDES?

  • Increased herbicide diversity.
  • Reduction in selection pressure.
  • Improved control of weed spectrum.
  • Fewer weed escapes.
  • Reduction in weed competition.
Overlapping Residuals

Chart:

A two-pass, overlapping, residual herbicide program leveraging Anthem MAXX herbicide and Authority Edge herbicide achieved excellent grass and waterhemp control in a 2019 Iowa State University trial against a single preemergence application of multiple well-known names in weed control.  This protocol demonstrated just how important a postemergence application is for achieving excellent control of tough grasses.

These university trials achieved short- and long-term benefits when leveraging an overlapping residual approach for waterhemp control. In all three trials, residual herbicides from FMC were utilized PRE and POST. Weed count, weed biomass/weight and soybean yield were measured to indicate program results.
