Certainly Lasso* plus
atrazine controls
fall panicum.
Plenty of growers last season
learned that the "foxtail" they
thought grew through their herbi
cide was really fall panicum.
And plenty of growers this season
will learn that if you tank mix Las
so plus atrazine, you won't find fall
panicum. Nor will you find giant
foxtail, crabgrass and most other
grasses... or lots of broadleafs
like smartweed, pigweed, cockle
bur.
Lasso plus atrazine gets 'em all in
corn.
That's what you expect from your herbicide.
