When you’ve got a lot of trash sitting
on your field, you need a herbicide strong
enough to fight its way through. Like Dual.
Conservation tillage demands Dual.
No herbicide fits the requirements
of conservation tillage like Dual.
Dual’s more active chemistry allows
it to sit on the trash for weeks waiting for
rain, without losing effectiveness. And
when rain does come, Dual needs very
little of it to wash off trash and activate,
because it’s highly soluble.
Concentrated to work harder,
last longer.
Dual is concentrated to get into the
soil and stay put. Even after heavy rainfall,

it won’t leach out. Instead, it stays close
to the surface where it’s most effective
against germinating weeds and grasses.
So your crop will have less competition
for water and nutrients during the impor
tant early growth stage.
/\nd Dual breaks down more slowly
so it lasts two to four weeks longer than
other herbicides. It stops the late
germinating weeds and grasses that occur
in the cooler soils under conservation
tillage trash.
These times demand low cost per acre.
Because Dual is concentrated, you
can apply it at low pint rates, not quarts
like other herbicides And it’s versatile
enough to be used on corn and soybeans,
or to be incorporated or applied over
the-top at the same low rate In short, no
herbicide offers you more performance
and versatility for the money in conser
vation tillage. So try the one whose
advantages are sinking in on more and
more farms. Dual from Ciba-Geigy
