‘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.
Uniformly, growers have
reported excellent control of most

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, and it was effective

Lumber Bridge, NC grower,
John Balfour, tested Command
alongside a Dual/Treflan com
bination. 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. I
