DuPont™ Galaxy™ herbicide tank mix approved for use with atrazine for enhanced residual control of lamb’s-quarters
Growers of glyphosate-tolerant corn now have the choice of adding atrazine as a tank-mix to DuPont™ Galaxy™ for enhanced residual control of lamb’s-quarters.
“Glyphosate-tolerant corn growers continue to see the benefits of the contact and residual weed control of DuPont™ Galaxy™,” says Dave Kloppenburg, senior sales territory manager. “By tank-mixing atrazine with Galaxy™, growers benefit from added residual broadleaf control of tough weeds like lamb’s-quarters.”
DuPont™ Galaxy™ provides both contact and residual activity in a one-pass application that helps keep glyphosate-tolerant corn crops clean during the critical weed-free period. DuPont™ Galaxy™ controls all the weeds on the glyphosate label, and improves the control of troublesome weeds such as fall panicum, green foxtail and redroot pigweed. The approval of a tank mix with atrazine now provides for enhanced residual control of lamb’s-quarters.
Galaxy™ can be applied from emergence to the 6-leaf stage. With two modes of action (Group 9 and Group 2), Galaxy™ helps protect against resistance and shifts in weed populations.
