“Since we started using Banvel her
bicide six or seven years ago, we hardly ever
see morningglory anymore. We get very good
control of thistle. Compared to 2,4-D, Banvel
does a better job. It gives a broader range of
control of some of the more resistant broad
leaves!’

“It doesn’t make corn
brittle even though I use a
regular sprayer. We spray
Banvel herbicide right on
top, when corn is six inches
high. This is the right stage

“We really started using
Banvel herbicide heavy on
our no-till weed problems
four years ago. Canada
thistle is our biggest prob
lem ... we went to Banvel
herbicide because we got
twisted corn with 2,4-D. You
have more tolerance with
the weather. Banvel is a lot
safer than the old 2,4-D’.’

For years, successful minimum-till corn
producers have been depending on Banvel to
stop tough, resistant, late emerging broadleaf
weeds.
Banvel is very effective against hard
to-kill perennial broadleafs as well as such
weeds as Canada thistle (seedlings), morning
glory, pigweed, lambsquarter, ragweed, and
annual clover. Tank-mixed with atrazine, Banvel
knocks out horsenettle or combined with 2,4-D,
it will even take care of the super-tough velvet
leaf, Canada thistle and many more.
Late germinating broadleaf weeds need
not lower your corn yields. Follow the lead of
other successful Banvel users who have found
Banvel herbicide is a much needed “success”
ingredient for higher minimum-till corn yields.
Velsicol reminds
you, before using
any pesticide read
the label.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Mav 19,
“The first time we used
Banvel herbicide about four
years ago, we got excellent
results. Old 2,4-D has been
a standby for years. But
Banvel herbicide with 2,4-D
gives much better control
. . . with Banvel herbicide
and 2,4-D we’re getting
weeds we did not get with
2,4-D alone.. . Banvel her
bicide looks like the most
economical way to control
problem weeds!’
