‘Command’ praised by growers PHILADELPHIA - There have been many herbicides introduced in the past several years, but few have been greeted with as much anticipation and excitement as has been expressed by the growers who have run trials with Com mand' , a unique preemerge herbicide for soybeans. Developed by FMC Corporation, Command has proven to be ef fective on a broad spectrum of grasses and broadleaf weeds, including velvetleaf, in many different soil and climatic con ditions. Growers throughout soybean producing states have run ex tensive trials testing the efficacy of Command on a wide variety of weeds and grasses under many different application and tillage practices.

Command is the first and only selective preemerge herbicide that provides season-long control of velvet-leaf, and that is generating additional excitement in certain areas because velvetleaf is among the most problematic weed species in the midwest and is becoming a problem in other areas as well. Dave Wetherell, an Orchard, IA grower, tested Command in 1984 and 1985. That experience gave him the opportunity to assess ef ficacy under different moisture conditions.

He notes, “There is no doubt that Command did a better job than Dual/Treflan.” “From what I have seen,” notes Gary Snodgrass, South Charleston, OH, “I will definitely continue to use Command. It is real strong against grasses and most broadleaves I see, and it sup presses the others so they don’t become a problem.” Bill Glass, a large Charleston, MO grower with 2,500 acres in soybeans says, “Overall, the control with Command was better than anything I have ever seen. There is no question that it is better than Dual or Lasso and Sencor.
