New Herbicide For Tomatoes, Strawberries
April 27, 2016 Tomato and strawberry growers now have a new herbicide to add to their arsenal. From Helm Agro US, Inc., Helm Sulfentrazone 4F has received federal Section 3 registration.
Classified as a Group 14 herbicide, the product is registered for control of more than 100 broadleaf, grass, and sedge species. In addition to tomatoes and strawberries, the list of crops includes soybeans, sunflowers, and tobacco.
“In addition to its broad-spectrum activity, Sulfentrazone 4F offers growers many important benefits,” noted Jan Stechmann, President of Helm Agro US. “It’s highly effective against ALS (acetolactate synthase)-resistant weeds, such as kochia and Russian thistle, plus it can be applied pre-plant or pre-emergence in any tillage system. Furthermore, Helm Sulfentrazone 4F gives growers the flexibility to apply it by ground, air, or through sprinkler irrigation systems.”
The herbicide contains four pounds of sulfentrazone per gallon of product and comes packaged in 2-by-2.5-gallon cases, with 36 cases per pallet.
