ABSTRACT

Anthem is a new proprietary herbicide premix than contains pyroxasulfone and fluthiacet-methyl that provides growers a convenient and flexible product for pre-emergence and early post emergence grass and broadleaf weed control. Anthem is formulated as a 2.15 pound per gallon suspoemulsion liquid. Anthem will be labeled for both corn and soybean uses. Anthem ATZ is a new three way herbicide premix than contains pyroxasulfone, atrazine and fluthiacet-methyl that provide growers a convenient and flexible product for pre-emergence and early post emergence grass and broadleaf weed control. Anthem ATZ is formulated as a 4.5 pound per gallon suspoemulsion liquid. Anthem ATZ will be labeled for corn uses only. Both Anthem and Anthem ATZ offers growers several modes of action for control of weeds, including weeds resistant to glyphosate and many difficult to control species. Both products provide excellent crop safety when used at the recommended pre-emergence rates for the particular soil type or in post applications. Anthem uses rates will vary from 6-13 fluid ounces per acre and Anthem ATZ uses rates will vary from 1.5 to 4 pints per acre. Research trials conducted by FMC and University researchers has shown excellent grass and broadleaf weed control with both Anthem and Anthem ATZ.
