Label changes and new
products:
• With the introduction of
Roundup Ready soybeans in
1995, Roundup Ultra may be
applied as an over-the-top
application. These soybeans
will be used most effectively
when drill planted and where
there is low to moderate weed
problems or certain perennial
species. Apply 24 to 48 ounces/
acre (<64 ounces/acre total).
These soybeans can be sprayed

Accurate seed spacing and precise depth '
increase yield potential.
■ Time-proven positive air metering
system and edge drop seed discs
gently singulate seeds to eliminate
wasteful doubles.
■ The short 18" seed drop makes seed
spacing accurate.
■ Consistent seed depth is assured
through our independently operating
walking beam gauge wheels...adjust
in 1/8" increments.
■ Low air pressure gently handles
fragile seed coat.
■ Fewer moving parts reduce
maintenance and downtime,

to be competitive. Asgrow will
be the initial supplier with other
companies following.
• FMC will market a micro
encapsulated formulation of
Command (Command 3ME).
(Still pending approval by
EPA.) This will be applied as a
preetneigence (not PPI) treat

• Authority 75DF or 4F (sul
fentrazone) is a preemergence
broadleaf herbicide for soy
beans being developed by
FMC. It is active on several
broadleaves including lambs-
quarters, pigweed, morning
glory, nightshade, jimsonweed,
and nutsedge. It will require
tank mixing to improve control
of grasses and common rag
weed. Authority will have an
EUP in 1996, with expected
label registration by 1997.
• Axiom 68DF (thiafluamide
+ Sencor) is a pre-applied pro-
duct from Bayer that will be
used in com and soybeans.
Thiafluamide is one of the most
active members from the chlor-
oactamide family (Dual, Lasso
etc.), and is applied at low use
rates (0.5 Ib/acrc). Axiom will
control foxtail, crabgrass, bar
nyardgrass, panicum, and sev
eral annual broadleaves.
• Chart 75WDG
(0GA277476) is a sulfonylurea
herbicide from Ciba being
tested for post
emergence weed con
trol in soybeans.
Broadleaves will be
the main target of
Chart; however, some
grasses and nutsedge
will be suppressed.
Chart is short-lived in
the soil and should not
interfere with crop
rotations. Ciba will
have an EUP for 1996
and hopes to have it
labeled by 1997.
