Fierce® is a pre-emergent soil active herbicide that offers extended activity on emerging spring broadleaf and grass weeds for up to 8 weeks after activation in pulses, soybeans and wheat.

Technical information

Active ingredients: Group 14 (flumioxazin), Group 15 (pyroxasulfone) 
Treatment area: One case treats 128 acres at 85 g/ac. (32 ac./jug)
Application timing: Fall apply as late as possible but prior to freeze up for any registered crop. Pre-plant or pre-emergent for soybeans, chickpeas and field peas. Should be applied a minimum of 7 days prior to seeding field corn, spring wheat and winter wheat. Can be applied up to 3 days after seeding soybeans, chickpeas and field peas
Tank-mix order: Fierce, BlackHawk or GoldWing (if used), glyphosate
Notes: Seeding after application requires the use of minimum to zero till drills. Fierce requires moisture to activate in the soil

Benefits

  • BETTER PERFORMANCE than other leading soil active herbicides on tough broadleaf weeds
  • ACTIVITY ON GRASS WEEDS with a different mode of action to manage Group 1- and 2-resistant biotypes
  • EXTENDED CONTROL with activity that lasts up to 8 weeks after activation
  • TWO ACTIVE INGREDIENTS (proven Group 14 and 15) for management of Group 1-, 2-, 4-, 5- and glyphosate-resistant weeds
  • Convenient application eliminates the need for granular broadcast herbicide products
  • Tank-mixable with most burndown and pre-emergent herbicides (i.e. glyphosate, BlackHawk and/or GoldWing)

Performance tips

  1. Emerged weeds – use with a burndown herbicide partner like glyphosate and BlackHawk or GoldWing
  2. Flushing weeds – residual activity for newly emerging weeds
  3. Emerged crop – Fierce alone can be applied up to 3 days post seeding soybeans, chickpeas and field peas
  4. Refer to label for rates and use patterns
  5. DO NOT incorporate after application or prior to seeding
  6. Pre-seeding applications require the use of minimum disturbance seeding systems
  7. Non-ionic surfactant required if glyphosate is not being tank-mixed
  8. Leave a small checkstrip in the field to show performance
