Tank Mix Partners Additional Information

Residual herbicides, such as Degree Xtra , Harness Xtra,
Harness® Xtra 5.6L, and TripleFLEX® II Herbicide, provide
control of grasses and small seeded broadleaves, prior to weed
emergence. These herbicides can be applied PRE or POST in
corn up to 11-inches in height. Warrant® Herbicide also
provides control of grasses and small seeded broadleaves prior
to emergence and can be applied POST in corn up to 30 inches
in height. Tank mix partners with these herbicides are
generally added for management of large seeded broadleaves,
triazine-resistant weeds, and emerged weeds, especially those that
are tough-to-control or are resistant to glyphosate.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide and Warrant Herbicide may be tank
mixed with any other herbicide labeled for use on corn at the
appropriate application timing, provided the compatibility of
the tank mix is verified by a jar test and tank mixing with them
is not prohibited by the label of the tank mix partner. Degree
® ® Fields should be scouted throughout the season for weed
growth. Proper application timing that helps protect yield
potential, ensures correct use rate for weed size, and considers
the impact of environmental conditions on performance.

marestail, giant ragweed, kochia, lambsquarters, Amaranthus
species, and others can be found at:
