Growers planning to plant oats, winter wheat or canary seed this year can now use Express^® SG with their glyphosateº to clean up their fields before seeding.

Express^® SG also recently received approval for application before seeding of field peas, dry beans, fababeans, lupins and soybeans.

“The addition of all these crops makes Express^® SG an even more important tool to growers in their spring seeding preparations,” says Travis Schoonbaert, DuPont Cereals and Oilseeds Product Manager.   “This gives growers the weed control they need to get their crops off to the best start, plus maximum flexibility to adjust their seeding plans after a pre-seed burn-off.”

Express^® SG “turns up the heat” on glyphosateº to provide control of tough broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, narrow-leaved hawk’s-beard, flixweed, wild buckwheat and all types of volunteer canola.

“Growers have made Express^® SG one of the fastest growing herbicides in the Western Canada,” Schoonbaert adds. “They clearly see the benefit and the value of this  product. I expect the new label additions will increase demand for Express^® SG again this year.”

Express^® SG is powered by Solumax^™ soluble granule technology, so although it is a dry herbicide it works just like a liquid. Express^® SG dissolves completely into solution when mixed with water, resulting in faster, easier tank clean-out and improved plant absorption for more consistent weed control.

The active ingredient in Express^® SG is tribenuron methyl, a Group 2 broadleaf herbicide.  Express^® SG tank-mixed with glyphosateº controls or suppresses 24 weeds and works well, even under cool conditions. 

In addition to these new crops, spring wheat, durum, barley, field peas, dry beans, fababeans, lupins and soybeans can be seeded 24 hours after a pre-seed burn-off of Express^® SG and glyphosateº.  For chem-fallow and fall applications, winter wheat can be planted within 24 hours, along with any of the crops listed above.  Two months after application, growers can also seed canola, flax, lentils or alfalfa.
