requires less soil moisture than
other preemerge herbicides for
activation.” he said. “Of course,
all soil-applied, selective her
bicides require some moisture for
activation.
“We couldn’t have picked a
better year to test the efficacy of
Command under dry conditions,
and we are pleased that
evaluations from both researchers
and farmers bear out the fact that
Command is effective under dry
conditions.
“In many areas, Command is
going to get a lot of attention
because of its activity on
velvetleaf. But, as those who tried
it in the EUP quickly found out,
one of the strongest benefits of
Command is that it will provide
excellent control of grasses and
other broadleaves as well, thus
making Command a product which
can serve as the basic herbicide in
a farmer’s weed control
program.”
