New herbicide registered for use in corn

The Environmental Protection Agency has approved the registration of new DuPont Stout herbicide for postemergence grass and broadleaf weed control in corn, according to DuPont Crop Protection, Johnston, Iowa. The new product gives growers a new and cost-effective choice for consistent control of many grasses and key broadleaf weeds.

Stout provides broad-spectrum contact control of many grasses, including woolly cupgrass, Italian ryegrass, yellow foxtail, field sandbur plus velvetleaf and lambsquarters at an affordable cost. Corn growers can achieve the weed control they need with much more flexibility in rates, tank-mix partners, application window and bottom line costs.

Growers can target specific weed problems by tank mixing Stout with many herbicides registered for use on corn, including atrazine, dicamba, Distinct, Callisto, or DuPont Cinch herbicide. Applications must include either a crop oil concentrate or a non-ionic surfactant, and an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer also must be used unless prohibited by tank-mix partner labeling.

With rising fuel costs, corn growers need to get the best possible return on their input investments this spring. Stout herbicide can give them cost-effective control of many grasses and key broadleaf weed problems.
