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 cam. That's what you expect from your herbicide. Also receiving ceritficates were: Ezra M. Martin, Ephrata RDI; Donald S. Eby, Gordonville RDI; Harold L. and Don Risser, Bainbridge RDI; Edwin K.
