Your corn crop is well along. But tough, deep
rooted weeds threaten to take over. The earlier
you spray Banvel, the better, preferably before
hot, humid weather.
Even though you spray over the tops of corn,
normally no brittleness develops. If you see
velvetleaf or pigweed, a lower rate of Banvel mixed
with 2,4-D will give most effective control.
Banvel works! For one simple reason. Banvel
translocates. Absorbed by leaves, stems, roots,
Banvel moves with plant fluids from leaf tip to
root tip. Destroys as it goes. So, no regrowth.
In permanent pasture, Banvel gives you easy
control of more than 40 of the most common
weeds, including wild garlic, weed brush
and weed trees.
Cost of Banvel? Up to $1.90 per acre broadcast
in corn. Ask your dealer or custom sprayer for
full information.
