Glyphosate Working for You
Whether due to the early success of glyphosate in
cleaning up Roundup Ready" soybean fields or recent
low commodity prices, we've seen an alarming practice
that may be pardy responsible for some recent weed
control lapses with glyphosate That would be the
practice of cutting rates
Often, the problem may be as simple as weather
havmg delayed post appheauons In those cases, an
applicator may need to bump up rates to contiol weeds
that have grown to new' heights Weeds like lambsquaiteis
.ire very difficult to control post vs preemerge or earh
post, as its waxy surface can harden and make it moie
difficult for glyphosate to penetrate the plant
Whatever die reason, cutting rates is a dangerous
practice because it gives weeds die opportunity to become
tolerant to glyphosate With glyphosate-resistant marestail
spreading throughout the Adantic States and mid-South,
and growers reporting cases of tolerance or suspected
resistance to waterhemp in Missouri, lowa and Illinois,
cutting rates can only lead to weed control problems
By following label guidelines, you’ll not only receive
the maximum impact of your glyphosate investment, you’ll
protect the effectiveness of one of your best weed
control tools for years to come
When using Glyphomax* Plus herbicide, we
recommend the following rates 24 ounces for weeds
1 to 3 mches m height, 32 ounces at 4 to 8 inches, and
48 ounces for weeds 8 to 18 mches
A complementary practice is
adding an economical rate of a
residual chemistry like Firstßate*
herbicide with glyphosate Adding
another mode of action to post
sprays is an effective way to manage
tolerance or resistance concerns
To learn more about using
Glyphomax Plus or Firstßate
herbicides, contact your local
ag retailer
