Dow AgroSciences has received registration for tank mixing Prestige and Horizon to get season-long control of perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle, sow thistle and round-leaved mallow plus grasses such as wild oats and green foxtail.
Dow says it is a good tank mix in a herbicide rotation program because it lets farmers rotate out of Group 2 broadleaf products.
Prestige is a Group 4 broad spectrum, post-emergent broadleaf herbicide for use in barley and all spring wheat, except durum. For more information, contact a Dow AgroSciences dealer.
