Powering up cereal weed control with pendimethalin
ANTHEM’s advanced SC (suspension concentrate) formulation technology delivers higher efficacy versus grass weeds compared to standard CS (capsule suspension) formulations of the same active ingredient and is more user-friendly thanks to its easy pour and easy rinse qualities.
ANTHEM can be used up until BBCH 30 to provide a broad spectrum of weed control and is the ideal tank mix partner to improve residual activity of black-grass control programmes.
Independent trials which were carried out at eight sites over the last two seasons have shown that the addition of 3L/ha of ANTHEM reduces the variability in performance of a pre-emergence treatment of an aclonifen, flufenacet and diflufenican combination when targeting a high-pressure population of difficult to control black-grass. Across the eight trials, the addition of ANTHEM reduced black-grass heading by an average of 9%, with the inter-quartile range of heading control ranging between 33 and 74% for the base aclonifen, flufenacet and diflufenican treatment improving to between 55 and 84% control with the addition of ANTHEM.
