Weed Control Challenge
You’ve seen it before, you’re waiting for your crop to come up in the spring, and an early flush of weeds appear before or at the same time as the crop. That early weed competition will put a big dent in your crop yield. Wild oats that are a leaf stage ahead of the crop can rob up to 30%* of crop yield. And volunteer canola that comes in early and thick adds even more competition for young cereal crops.
