AATR
Because AAtrex® SOW herbicide is the No. 1 killer
©f weeds. It kills almost all grass and broadleaf
weeds, and it does it by the thousands.
Corn loves AAtrex because AAtrex lets corn grow,
and grow, with all the moisture and nutrients it want*.
While allowing you to cut down the number of
cultivations.
And only one AAtrex application a season does
all this.
Let us tell you more about how to apply, and when to
apply, this No. 1 killer of weeds—AAtrex.
