DES PLAINES, ILL. Fron
tier© Herbicide, a new chemistry
from Sandoz Crop Protection, has
been approved by the United
Stales Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for control of
annual grasses and certain broad
leaf weeds in com.
"Farmers are demanding more
from their crop protection than
just great performance. They want
a product that will protect their
environment as well as their
crop,” said Ken Rinkenberger,
business director for Frontier.
“Through extensive research, San
doz scientists developed a chemi
stry that provides consistent per
formance and helps preserve the
environment. Frontier is our
answer to crop protection in the
1990 s and beyond.”
The active ingredient in
Frontier —dimethenamid—was
discovered in 1982 at Sandoz
research laboratories in Basel,
Switzerland. During the past 10
years, more than 2,000 research
and on farm trials nationwide con
firm the consistent performance of
the herbicide.

These lower use rates will
reduce environmental loading and
will allow applicators to handle
less product. For example, a grow
er treating a 500-acre field
(medium soil with about 3 percent
organic matter) would normally
use about 313 gallons of formu
lated alachlor or 125 gallons of
formulated metolachlor. That
same field can be treated with only
78 gallons of formulated Frontier.
The chemical structure of Fron
tier biodegrades efficiently into
dozens of simple compounds and
elements, so carryover and crop
safety are not concerns. Tests
show that young corn plants

Frontier fits most cropping sys
tems. It can be used early preplant,
prcplant, preemergence, delayed
preemergence, and early post
emergence. It also can be tank
mixed or used in sequence with
broadleaf herbicides, such as Ban

grasses and broadleaves in com.
Frontier will be available in
