Get ahead of spring weeds by spraying Valtera EZ or Fierce EZ this fall.

Are there weeds in your fields giving you a headache? Is kochia becoming a bigger problem? Are wild oats a nuisance? Now is the time to start planning for early season weed control next spring. 

Spray Valtera™ EZ or Fierce® EZ soil active herbicides this fall after harvest and before freeze up to get up to 8 weeks of extended weed control in pulses, wheat and soybeans next spring. 

Watch this video and learn how Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ work to manage spring weeds.

TAKE OUT TOUGH WEEDS WITH VALTERA EZ AND FIERCE EZ

Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ knock out tough-to-kill weeds with up to 8 weeks of extended control in pulses, wheat and soybeans. These pre-emergent herbicides can help manage Group 2-, 4- and glyphosate-resistant weeds while staying flexible so you can move from pulses to cereals with no cropping restrictions.

BENEFITS OF FALL-APPLIED SOIL ACTIVE HERBICIDES

When applied in the fall, Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ create a protective layer of herbicide that activates with spring moisture. While you’re busy seeding next spring, Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ actively help control spring weeds as they emerge. The residual activity of Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ takes out multiple flushes of weeds for up to 8 weeks, preserving nutrients and moisture in the soil, and helping your crop get a head start.

TIPS TO MAXIMIZE FALL VALTERA AND FIERCE APPLICATIONS

In the fall Valtera EZ and Fierce EZ should be applied close to freeze-up or when the soil temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius. Jason Lindgren, Nufarm Territory Manager for Southeast Alberta shows how to take a proper soil temperature and also shares some other tips to maximize your fall application.

WHAT FARMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT VALTERA AND FIERCE

Fierce EZ worked really well on our farm. We left two check strips so we could tell the difference. It worked really well suppressing the canola, wild mustard, and it worked really well on the kochia as well.

- Megan Moore (Rosetown, SK)

We had a serious kochia problem in this area, and we are finding Valtera is doing an excellent job of controlling kochia in our lentils. And we are able to grow lentils in certain fields that we couldn't in the past.
