2,4-D Ester 660

2,4-D Ester 660 is a systemic herbicide that controls susceptible broadleaf weeds while leaving labelled grass crops unharmed when used as directed. It is suited to Western Canadian cereal, corn, forage, pasture, stubble and selected non-crop programs.

· Controls a broad range of annual broadleaf weeds.

· Fits cereal, corn, forage, pasture, stubble and selected non-crop programs.

· Ground and aerial application are permitted for specified uses.

Apply in warm weather when crops and weeds are actively growing and weeds are at a susceptible stage. Rates, crop timing, application method and seasonal limits vary by use. Follow the applicable product label and avoid drift to sensitive broadleaf plants.

Spring wheat, barley and rye; winter wheat and fall rye; field corn; established grasses grown for forage or seed; pasture and rangeland; and soybeans under the labelled giant ragweed program.

Kochia, lamb's-quarters, wild mustard, stinkweed, redroot pigweed, Russian thistle, shepherd's-purse, volunteer canola, wild radish and other labelled broadleaf weeds. Higher labelled rates may be required for harder-to-control weeds, while some perennial weeds receive top-growth control only.
