Registration For Surpass
WILMINGTON, Del. Zene
ca Ag Products received EPA
registration for Surpass EC, a new
com herbicide that controls annual
grasses and small-seeded broad
leaf weeds.
Zeneca should be able to supply
local agricultural dealers with the
product within one to two weeks,
according to Steve Miller, product
manager.
Surpass is applied preemer
gence up to 30 days before plant
ing, or shallow-incorporated. It
can be used in tillage systems
ranging from conventional to no
till, and has been widely tested in
university studies and on-farm
trials across the Com Belt
Surpass is chemically related to
Dual and Micro-Tech. “The dif
ference is that acetochlor, the
active ingredient in Surpass, is
more active and more consistent,”
Miller said. “Through wet and dry
years, growers can expect higher
levels of control on foxtail, fall
panicum, bamyardgrass, crab
grass, and other annual grasses.
Miller notes that Surpass is
labeled for partial control of sev
eral tough grasses such as woolly

The Case kit helps discourage
operators from bypass starting
machines. “When the protective
device is installed, the operator
will find it more difficult to bypass
start the machine,” Snopko said.
“Removal of the cover requires
tools and a considerable amount
of time. Because it takes less time
to start the machine the correct
way from the operator’s seat —
the kit serves to further discourage
the unsafe practice of bypass start
