New PRE-PARE™ Herbicide Allows Glyphosate Burndown
CARY, N.C. (November 2007) – Arysta LifeScience North America
Corporation has announced the registration of PRE-PARE™ 70 WDG
Herbicide. PRE-PARE is an exciting new option for wheat growers
interested in extended control of troublesome grassy and broadleaf
weeds at burndown.
“The registration is excellent news for wheat growers who already
apply glyphosate as a burndown treatment prior to seeding,” says
Patrick Haikal, Product Manager. “The extended control of PRE-PARE
means that wheat fields get a jumpstart on the growing season.”
Research has shown that prolific weeds like green foxtail
(pigeongrass) and wild oats decrease crop yields the most when they out
compete the wheat in its earliest growing stages. A burndown treatment
that includes PRE-PARE means that the field will stay cleaner, allowing
wheat growers time to seed into a clean field and reduce weed
competition for the emerging crop.
“Wheat growers are constantly looking for better solutions for their
operation,” adds Haikal. “We worked collaboratively with over 175
growers to bring PRE-PARE to the market. They confirmed the value an
extended control, grassy and broadleaf burndown weed herbicide would
bring to their operation. The registration of PRE-PARE was really
driven by wheat growers’ desire for weed control solutions that add
value to their farming practices.”
