Manage resistant broadleaf weeds in cereals with Huskie PRE

""Emerging weed resistance, particularly with kochia, could indicate an over-reliance on in-crop applications," says Troy Basaraba, Technical Solutions Agronomist with Bayer Crop Science. "In-crop applications are not always effective enough to control tough weeds." In fact, resistant kochia alone could keep you up at night. Kochia resistant to Groups 2, 4, and 9 is confirmed across the Prairies, and Group 14 resistant kochia has been identified in each Prairie province."

"Fortunately, your prospects for successfully managing resistance in cereal crops are improving with the introduction of new, pre-burn tank-mixes. Applying the right tank-mix prior to seeding delivers better control than in-crop applications to control resistant kochia and other stubborn weeds. "Relying on early-season weed control should be considered essential to your weed management strategy in cereals," Basaraba says. "It's all about getting your crop off to a clean start.""

"Huskie® PRE herbicide, the first Group 27 pyrasulfotole herbicide registered in Western Canada for cereal pre-burn, is the new linchpin for a successful broadleaf weed management strategy in cereals. Designed to be tank-mixed with products like Roundup® Transorb® HC or Roundup WeatherMAX® with Transorb 2 Technology, Huskie PRE's active ingredients (Group 27 pyrasulfotole and Group 6 bromoxynil) deliver control you just can't get with an in-season herbicide application."

Kochia resistant to Groups 2, 4 and 9 is confirmed across the Prairies, and Group 14 resistant kochia has been identified in each Prairie province; Group 14 resistance could expand rapidly. There are almost no effective tank-mixes for kochia resistant to Groups 2, 4, 5, 9 and 14. Pre-burn, pre-seeding tank-mixes deliver better control of resistant kochia and other stubborn broadleaf weeds than in-crop applications. Early-season weed control is essential to establish a clean start for cereal crops. Huskie PRE, the first Group 27 pyrasulfotole herbicide registered in Western Canada for cereal pre-burn, tank-mixed with glyphosate products, delivers control not achievable with in-season applications and targets a wide range of resistant broadleaf weeds.
