Remain Flexible with Your
Attack on Broadleaf Weeds
There are many factors that come into play each
spring that affect how and when you apply your
broadleaf herbicide Weather can close the application
window altogether, while tillage practices, crop
rotational restrictions or local use restricuons can
severely hunt the use of a herbicide
That’s why it pays to use a flexible broadleaf
herbicide - one that adapts to fit your changing
spring schedule Hornet* WDG herbicide offers
• Flexibility to make a soil application or a post
application up to 20-mch-tall corn, or the V 6 stage -
whichever comes first
Rotational freedom to soybeans, alfalfa, wheat and
other crops
• No setback restrictions since it contains no atrazine
• Tank-nnx flexibility with nearly all other grass and
broadleaf postemergence corn herbicides.
• The ability to choose the application rate and
tuning that best fits your weed spectrum and
farming practices
Hornet WDG controls large-seeded broadleaf
weeds, including common and giant ragweed,
velvedeaf, cocklebur and sunflower And when
Hornet WDG is used in a
soil-applied tank mix with
either Surpass*, TopNotch*,
FulTmie* or new Keystone* or
Keystone LA grass herbicides,
you get a superior broad
spectrum weed control program
Remove any doubts about
what herbicide to use to control
broadleaf weeds this spring Ask
your ag retailer about how the
flexibility of Hornet WDG
herbicide can benefit your
corn production this year
