Lumax herbicide permitted on Kansas grain sorghum until mid-JunKansas The Kansas Department of Agriculture has announced U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval of a Section 18 emergency exemption, allowing Lumax herbicide use on Kansas grain sorghum until June 15. When applied according to label directions--and after proper activation--this herbicide controls broadleaf weeds and annual grasses (excluding shattercane) in grain sorghum, said Dave Regehr, weed management specialist at Kansas State University Research and Extension. The controlled weeds include triazine-resistant, glyphosate-resistant, and acetolactate synthase (ALS)-resistant Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, he said. The exemption does outline special conditions for Lumax use on sorghum, Regehr added. "The Section 18 is an indemnified label. That means end users must accept all responsibility for failure to perform and for crop damage from Lumax use on sorghum," he said. "Applicators also must be in possession of the label at the time of application." After indicating they accept the liability, applicators can access the label online at www.farmassist.com. Those without Internet access will need to obtain the label from their retailer, who will walk them through the process, Regehr said. Date: 5/31/07
