Put Performance First With Status^® Herbicide Broadleaf Weed Control

You know Status herbicide as the tried-and-true post-emergence herbicide that controls large weeds faster and more completely than any other post-emergent herbicide for corn. But did you know that applying Status herbicide as part of a planned corn herbicide program can save time, money and yield?

In 2020, 10% of all corn acres in the U.S. received more than three herbicide applications because of multiple rescue treatments.¹ This herbicide application cost per acre resulted in a yield loss of $26 to $184 per acre for farmers.²

Revenue loss from broadleaf rescue treatments was estimated at $502 million for 2020*. Growers who relied on rescue treatments alone were impacted not only with additional herbicide expenses, but also unnecessary chemical application, increased fuel costs, lost time, and decreased soil nitrogen and moisture.

Status herbicide delivers best-in-class control of broadleaf weeds less than 6 inches tall, including those resistant to glyphosate and HPPD, but it’s more than a broadleaf rescue herbicide. Status herbicide delivers proven crop safety and features two sites of action for resistance management. With rapid knockdown, it delivers results within four hours of application. It’s also a flexible tank-mix partner and has no rotational crop concerns.

If planning to rescue is planning to lose money, then planning to avoid the need for rescue is planning to profit. Using Status herbicide in a planned program that starts with Verdict® herbicide and includes a tank-mix of Zidua® SC herbicide provides residual control, additional modes of action, and effectiveness.http://www.cdms.net/LabelsSDS/home/prodidx?key=10156 This two-pass program not only delivers robust weed control and reduces the need for rescue treatments, but it also helps you stay ahead of potential HPPD weed resistance issues.

The best time to apply post-emergent herbicide is when you want to do weed control right the first time. Using Status herbicide as your planned post-emergent herbicide application for corn is the right choice for your fields and yields.
