Apply Lasso plus atrazme tank mix as you plant, or after planting, before
corn or weeds come up with or without liquid fertilizers
Either way, you can plant as soon as your seedbed’s ready—and still
get the early grass and broadleaf control you need
What’s more, your herbicide goes on when the seedbed’s in ideal
condition for herbicide application
