Corn Premix Comparison

Herbicide premixes provide growers many benefits, including
fewer herbicide containers, easy mixing, flexibility in adding
(spiking) extra herbicide if needed, and in many cases, a lower
cost per acre than if the components were purchased separately.
On the downside, it can become difficult to remember the active
ingredients of each premix, information that is important in
formulating a weed resistance management strategy. We have
created the following attachment to provide a comparison of the
different corn herbicide premixes that are available from
various manufactures. The tables list a wealth of
information that allows growers to determine the components of
the premix and the amount of each active ingredient when the
premix is applied at a standard rate. The final column
gives the equivalent rates of each active ingredient in the
premix as if they were to be purchased separately and applied in
a tankmix. The information provided is only a guide for
comparing formulations; refer to the label for exact rates and
uses. Go to
Table in Excel.
