PHANTOM® 240 SL
Get early post-emergent broadleaf weed control in field peas, dry beans, alfalfa and soybean crops with extended control of select shallow germinating weeds.

General Info
HOW IT WORKS
PHANTOM® 240 SL is readily absorbed through both leaf and root uptake, and it is translocated in the plant to inhibit amino acid production and cell division. Plant growth is inhibited, and a few days after application, chlorosis and terminal bud injury become evident. Leaves and stems become yellow and purple, and root growth may be inhibited. Crop competition is quickly reduced, although complete plant death is relatively slow.

CROP ROTATIONS:
Research studies have shown the following crops can be safely grown in black and grey wooded soil zones the year following application:
- Alfalfa
- Clearfield® canola
- Field peas
- Lentils
- Spring barley
- Spring wheat
There are several factors that effect the re-cropping following an Imidazolinone application.
These include in order of importance:
1. Product: With imazethapyr for example being more persistent than imazamox.
2. Soil moisture: Need > 125 mm (5") of rain between herbicide application and August 31 in the year of application.
3. Organic matter: Brown soil zone (< 3% organic matter) are more susceptible to carry over crop injury the year after application.
4. Rate: As affected by the crop – soil residues are the issue.
5. Soil pH: Persists longer in a pH < 5.5 – 6. Depending on the following crop the level of sensitivity will vary.
