MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 26, 2015 /CNW/ - Western Canadian corn
growers have a new option for weed control. BASF Canada has
expanded the availability of ARMEZON® herbicide to
include Western Canada.
ARMEZON herbicide provides post-emergent weed control in corn.
It offers excellent crop safety, flexible recropping and a wide
application window. When tank-mixed with glyphosate, ARMEZON
provides multiple modes of action on annual grasses and broadleaf
weeds.
"Keeping corn fields weed free early in the season can have a
major impact on yield," said Deven
Esqueda, Brand Manager, Corn and Soybean Herbicides at BASF
Canada. "Using HEAT® LQ as a pre-seed burndown followed
by ARMEZON will help growers keep their corn clean during that
critical period."
ARMEZON provides a unique Group 27 active ingredient to control
tough weeds like wild mustard, barnyard grass and green foxtail.
Control of volunteer canola has also recently been added to the
label. BASF has submitted to the Pest Management Regulatory Agency
for a label expansion to include resistant kochia control.
"ARMEZON gives us a lot of options," said Warren McCutchen, a grower from Carman, Manitoba. "Volunteer canola comes in
late sometimes and we can put ARMEZON on up until the corn starts
filling in the rows and see good control with no damage to the
crop."
