Page 267-Corn Talk, Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 7, 1998 (Contlnu«| from Pag* 24) atrazine to provide more con sistent control. Aim is expected to receive EPA registration by late 1997 or cariy 1998. Balance 75WDG (Rhone Poulenc) is a new preemeigent herbicide containing the active ingredient isoxaflutole. Isoxaf lutole is a pigment inhibitor that controls a wide number of weed species including velvetleaf, lambsquarters. pigweed, com mon ragweed, smartweed, and nightshade, as well as some grasses. The application rate range is between I.sto2ounce s per acre. In most situations. Balance will need to be tank mixed with a preemergence grass herbicide to improve grass control. It provides good weed control in both conven tional and conservation tillage systems. Some com injury has been observed on course tex tured soils or situations of early season stress (e.g., compacted areas), so follow appropriate label precaution. Do not apply Balance to sand or loamy sand soils where the water table is less than 25 feet deep. Balance has a 6-month crop rotation interval for all crops. Balance herbicide is expected to have EPA registration by spring 1998. Distinct 70WG (BASF), coded BAS 662, is an experi mental postemergence herbi cide that contains a new growth regulator-type herbicide (dif lufenzopyr) plus dicamba (Banvel/Clarity). This herbi cide interferes with plant auxin balance and causes susceptible weeds to bend, twist, and die. It is effective on many types of broadleaf weeds and provides some suppression of certain annual grasses (herbistatic). It is a more active herbicide than Banvel or 2,4-D alone. Distinct is expected to be commercially available by the 1999 growing season. Harness/Balance (Monsanto/Rhone Poulenc) is an experimental premix of ace tochlor (Harness) and isoxaflu tole (Balance) for preemergence application. Both Monsanto and Rhone Poulenc anticipate having a prepackaged product of isoxaf lutole and acetochlor, however, each will contain a different ratio. The addition of Harness improves grass control and enhances activity on small seeded broadleaf weeds. It is not expected to be commercial ly available until the 1999 growing season or later. Liberty ATZ (AgrEvo) is a new prepackaged product being developed that contains glufosinate and atrazine. It will be used in Liberty Link or glufosinate-resistant corn hybrids rally. Liberty ATZ is expected to be available for the 1999 growing season. Pinnacle 25DF (DuPont) will be labeled for early post application in com. The rate will be V 4 ounces per acre and applied from the 2 to 6 com leaf stage (<6 collars). Pinnacle will provide good control of velvet leaf, pigweed, lambsquarters, smartweed, and mustards. Do not use if Counter insecticide has been applied. The Pinnacle com label is pending EPA registration and should be available for the 1998 season. Roundup Ready com hybrids (Monsanto/DeKalb) will be commercially available from DeKalb by 1998. They will allow over-the-top applications of Roundup Ultra to com. A typical program will include the use of a residual preemergence herbicide (e.g.. Harness (Xtra), Bicep 11, Sur pass (100), Guardsman, etc. at planting followed by an appli cation of up to 32 fluid ounces per acre of Roundup Ultra, if necessary to clean up any escaped weeds before com reaches 24 inches tall. Another option would be to apply an early postemergence tank-mix treatment of Roundup plus a residual herbicide. During this first year, sup plies of Roundup Ready com will be limited. Initially, it is expected that about one million acres worth of seed will be available nationwide. It is anti cipated that there will be five to six DeKalb com hybrids avail able; of those hybrids, possibly two will be suitable for the Northeast. A technology pre mium will be charged on each unit. Some foreign markets have not yet approved Roundup Ready com imports but are expected to by early 1999. Soybeans New Products and Updates: Labeled: Authority Broadleaf (FMQ and Canopy XL 56.3DF (DuP ont) are premixes of Authority (sulfentrazone) + Classic (chlorimuron). Both products provide control of annual broadleaves such as lambsquar ters, pigweed, velvetleaf, cock lebur, smartweed, nightshade, jimsonweed, momingglory, and nutsedge when applied preemergencc. Like Canopy, application restrictions apply if soil pH is greater than 6.8.
