Sharpen^® Herbicide

If the burndown herbicide you’re using in soybeans can’t control marestail, kochia and waterhemp, then it’s really just fancy water. Powered by Kixor^® herbicide technology, Sharpen^® herbicide drives burndown up to five times faster than the competition and offers unmatched control of more than 80 of the toughest broadleaf weeds. It’s a simple, effective way to sharpen up your burndown.

But that’s not all. Applied later in the season, Sharpen herbicide is also a stronger, faster and more complete harvest aid for soybeans, cotton, canola and dry beans that allows you to harvest on your schedule and see your crop potential through to the end of the season.
