A Planned Strategy Fights Resistant Weeds

Discovering weed escapes at harvest can be a yield loss nightmare, but the impact of these escapes starts much sooner. Yield loss starts with early emerging weeds that go unchecked. That’s why it’s important to have an effective and proactive herbicide plan in place to stop weeds before they have a chance to establish.
