Certainly Lasso
controls 'new' grasses
like fall panicum
in corn.
—Solves 'old' weed
problems, too. In both
corn and soybeans.
Plenty of growers last season
learned that the "foxtail'' they
thought grew through their herbi
cides was really fall panicum.
And plenty of growers this season
will learn that if you apply Lasso,
you won't find fall panicum. Nor
will you find giant foxtail, crab
grass and most other grasses.
Works on broadleafs like pigweed,
too.
In short, Lasso solves plenty of
weed problems Or keeps them
from becoming problems.
That's what you expect from your herbicide.
