Anthem® MAXX herbicide/ Solstice® herbicide programs control key weeds in corn and can save growers money University of Missouri research plot photos

Anthem MAXX & Solstice herbicide recommendation

KSU and University of Missouri research data

March 1, 2017

University research confirms Anthem® MAXX herbicide & Solstice® herbicides, in pre-emergence tank mix programs, compare favorably with market leading competitive programs on key weeds in corn. •Weed scientists agree that for clean fields, resistance management & higher yields, two pass, pre followed by post sequential herbicide programs are best. •Below: Anthem MAXX herbicide program performs as well as a popular and usually more expensive competitor. Photos Just prior to the post sequential treatment

Anthem MAXX herbicide teamed with Solstice herbicide in a very economical early post one-pass program below.

Anthem MAXX herbicide - Preplant or Preemergence Programs Anthem MAXX herbicide – 4-5 oz/A (3-3.5 oz on Coarse soils) – Use as a base residual to be followed by post treatment (glyphosate, Cadet® herbicide, Solstice® herbicide or other herbicides).

• Waterhemp, lambsquarter, Palmer pigweed, foxtails, other grasses.• Mix with atrazine (0.75-1.5 lbs) for added broadleaf control of kochia, morningglories, velvetleaf, nightshade, ragweeds,

smartweeds & others. + additional MOA• Apply up to 30 days PrePlant thru V4 growth stage post.

Anthem MAXX herbicide can be used in split or sequential residual programs either PRE or early Post. It can be used following a reduced rate of products like Lumax®/Lexar®, Verdict®, Bicep®, Harness® Xtra herbicide to provideextended residual

Anthem MAXX herbicide premier residual - Post Emergence Option 1: Anthem MAXX herbicide 2.5-4 oz + glyphosate + AMS : Combines residual of pyroxasulfone + fluthiacet methyl(Cadet® herbicide) for added post activity on broadleaf weeds when paired with glyphosate. Add ½-1 lb atrazine for additional mode of action and broader control.

Option 2: For low cost control of tough, resistant weed populations, use Solstice herbicide at 2.5 oz + Anthem MAXX herbicide 2oz, + atrazine ½-1 lb +COC 0.5 gal/100 + AMS.

Solstice herbicide (Cadet + mesotrione) provides strong post control on resistant broadleaf weeds. Anthem MAXX herbicide brings additional residual control for grasses and broadleaves

Comparison of Residual Control of PRE-grass herbicides for Glyphosate Resistant Waterhemp

Control – S. Illinois University. 2012 – De Soto, IL.

Exceptional grass/broadleaf control - Stronger grassand broadleaf residual means 2-4 weeks longer control. This means better control on late emerging grasses like crabgrass, sandbur, fall panicum, waterhemp, Palmer pigweed Broader spectrum residual broadleaf control - Keyresidual broadleaf weed benefits: Waterhemp, Palmer Amaranth, Pigweed, Kochia, Lambsquarters, and Velvetleaf Low use rate, concentrated SC formulation: Excellent mixing with water, UAN fertilizer, Weed-n-feed. Superior yields from long lasting residual weed control

Anthem® MAXX Herbicide: Outstanding residual control in corn that can save $ Anthem MAXX herbicide provides excellent grass and small seeded broadleaf control, with longer residual than many competitive PRE and Post herbicides. Longer residual provides more value for every $$ spent in control. Anthem MAXX herbicide works well in pre, pre followed by post or overlapping residual programs or even in a stand alone one pass early post program for cost conscious growers.
