INVOLVE® 50 WDG for Fall Weed Control

Unfortunately perennial weeds can be a challenge to control after harvest due to much of the above ground biomass being cut off with the combine; what remains is only the ‘tip of the iceberg’ relative to the root system, and it is difficult to get a lethal dose of a chemical to the roots through that tip.  

Increasing the rate of a single mode of action (ie. glyphosate) has not been overly successful, but an alternative solution is to target the above ground material with multiple products, each with a unique mode of action.  Ideally each chemical should be mobile within the plant, and while each individual product may not be enough to control challenging perennials, when used in combination the overall control can be increased – many small hammers. 

INVOLVE® 50 WDG, tribenuron-methyl, is a strong option to consider as a tank mix partner when spraying post cereal harvest.  Active on a wide range of  broadleaf weeds, and its phloem mobile nature helps it get down to the roots to limit future growth¹.  INVOLVE® 50 WDG also allows numerous cover crops to be sown afterwards, and has extremely wide re-crop flexibility the following spring.
