PHILADELPHIA - Excellent
control of most major grasses and
many broadleaf weeds, including
velvetleaf, activation in low
moisture levels and application
flexibility are uniformly reported
by university researchers who
conducted trials on Command® , a
unique preemerge herbicide for
soybeans. Developed by FMC
Corporation, Command has un
dergone one of the most extensive
experimental use permit (EUP)
evaluations ever conducted on a
preemerge herbicide.
Weed specialists at universities
throughout soybean growing areas
have done exhaustive testing on
the efficacy of Command under a
wide variety of soil and climatic
conditions and different tillage
practices.
Dr. George Kapusta, professor,
plant and soil sciences, Southern
Illinois University - Carbondale,
reflects the findings of many
researchers, noting that grass
control with Command is equal to

The Kargo-Tote Utility Box converts an Automatic Kar-Tote
into a handy trailer for local, short range hauling according to
Jay Hesse, Director of Marketing. The box measures six feet
by eight feet with 12-inch sides and a combination 24-inch

pounds. Three different kits are available to mount on any
Kar-Tote. A loading winch is available as an option. For

Researchers impressed by new herbicide
or better than other preemerge
herbicides he has worked with and
that Command also gives good to
excellent control of several im
portant broadleaf weeds. Ad
ditionally, Dr. Kapusta says,
“Command is an excellent her
bicide for low-moisture ap
plication. This is very unique
because most others lose a
significant amount of efficacy.”
Dr. Robert Hayes, associate
professor, plant and soil sciences,
University of Tennessee, com
ments about the activity of
Command in dry weather, noting,
“Command is an excellent her
bicide for dry weather application.
I would suggest it over any other
preemergence product on the
market if I knew I was not going to
get rain for several weeks.”
Since Command provides
equally effective control when
applied either preemergently or
incorporated, it is especially
valuable in all types of reduced
tillage operations. Dr. Kapusta

notes, “I have done a lot of work
with Command in no-till
operations. It has done an ex
cellent job on both grasses and
weeds. Command is a very
adaptable product.”
University of Wisconsin
professor, Dr. R. Gordon Harvey,
agrees, noting, “Command
provides excellent control in no-till
situations.”
Effective control of most
economically significant weeds
and grasses, and good suppression
of others, was found by all
researchers. Velvetleaf control is
an added benefit since Command
is the first and only selective
herbicide that controls it.
Dr. Richard Fawcett, professor
and weed control specialist, lowa
State University, says, “In lowa,
velvetleaf is the single most
serious weed problem the one
problem that, until now, we’ve not
