MISSOURI Lariat®, & new
com herbicide from Monsanto,
takes advantage of formulation
technology advancements to offer
growers a more convenient, easier
to-handle flowable herbicide.
‘Traditionally, flowable herbi
cides have been hard to pump, mix
and spray,” comments Dennis
Plummer, manager, com herbi
cides for Monsanto. “Flowables
also have a tendency to settle out
during storage and aren’t very
compatible with liquid fertilizer.”
As a result, Plummer notes,
some flowable formulations have
not been especially popular with
users.

To meet that challenge Monsan

users.
Compared to other flowable
herbicides, such as Bladex and
Bicep, Lariat has a lower viscosity,
particularly at temperatures under
60°. This makes it easier to pump

water and liquid fertilizer and
resists settling out, either in the
container or spray tank.
“Simply put. Lariat pumps more
easily, mixes better and sprays
more evenly than other flowable
formulations,” explains Plummer.
“That not only saves lime and
reduces equipment wear and tear,
but it also means Lariat can be
applied at an accurate and cost-"

consistent weed control.

EPA For Creek Clean-Up
The recently created AMI Task

has met with officials from the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 111, on the Action
Plan for “Cleaning-Up” the Red

waiting for agreements from state
environmental officials from the
State of Delaware and the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Task Force on Environmen
tal Matters, chaired by Charles C.
Brosius, a mushroom grower.
West Grove, PA., was created by
AMI to deal with current environ
mental problems. Members are:

Plant Pathology, Penn State; Dr.

may be applied either pre
emergence or shallow preplant
incorporated, using Surface Blend
techniques. It can also be applied
through center pivot irrigation
systems.
“Lariat does not need two incor
poration passes to provide excel
lent results,” Plummer says.
“Another benefit for farmers is that
they can use the same rate of Lariat
either surface applied or
incorporated.”
Lariat was developed for use in
com or in grain sorghum which has
been treated with Screen® seed
protectant. It will be available in
1988 primarily in bulk and in Shut
tle™ mini-bulk systems. Container
(2/j gallon) volumes will be lim
ited in 1988.
