Achieve Burndown and Residual Weed Control in Sorghum

ACHIEVE BURNDOWN AND RESIDUAL WEED CONTROL IN SORGHUM

A Proven Option for Reliable Residual and Burndown Control in Sorghum

Using preemergence herbicides such as Linex® 4L as a foundation to provide early season residual control of grasses and broadleaf weeds results in maximum yields and cleaner fields at harvest.

Unique benefits of LINEX® 4L

LINEX 4L is a photosystem II (PSII) inhibiting herbicide that provides effective residual control of several key small-seeded broadleaf weeds. LINEX 4L acts at a different binding site from many other PSII herbicides (like atrazine), and can therefore control triazine-resistant lambsquarters and pigweed making it an effective addition to many sorghum programs.

Application Recommendation

Make a single preemergence application of LINEX 4L tank mixed with a herbicide registered for the same use. Apply after planting but before crop emerges.

Soil Type 1-2% OM Rate in Pints 2-4% OM Rate in Pints

Sandy loam

0.625 – 1.25 1 – 1.5

Loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay, sandy clay loam

1.0 – 1.5 1 – 2

Plant seed at least 1 inch deep on flat or raised seedbeds only as injury to the crop may result.

Note: 

  1. Do not apply over the top of emerged sorghum.
  2. Do not apply within 75 days of harvest.
  3. Do not graze or feed plants to livestock within 3 months after directed postemergence application.
  4. For directions on the use of LINEX in a directed post-emergence application, consult the LINEX Specimen Label (novasource.com).

ACHIEVE BURNDOWN AND RESIDUAL WEED CONTROL IN SORGHUM

A Proven Option for Reliable Residual and Burndown Control in Glyphosate-Tolerant Soybeans

Growers are discovering that they need to use a preemergence herbicide such as LINEX 4L as a foundation for their postemergence program. Early season residual control of grasses and broadleaf weeds by LINEX 4L allows growers more flexibility to target their postemergence herbicide applications for maximum yields and cleaner fields at harvest.

Unique Benefits of LINEX 4L

A preemergence application of LINEX 4L delivers effective residual control in all types of soybean seed systems including Roundup Ready®/STS® stacked trait soybeans and conventional soybeans.

LINEX 4L is a photosystem II (PSII) inhibiting herbicide that provides effective residual control of several key small-seeded broadleaf weeds. LINEX 4L acts at a different binding site from many other PSII herbicides (like atrazine), and can therefore control triazine-resistant lambsquarters and pigweed, making LINEX 4L an effective addition to many soybean programs on 1 percent to 3 percent organic matter soils.

Conventional or Minimum Tillage

LINEX 4L applied preemergence up to 30 days prior to soybean planting and before soybean emergence provides control or suppression of many key grasses and broadleaf weeds, to give your glyphosate-tolerant soybeans a strong start in the spring. Ask your local crop consultant or NovaSource representative for specific recommendations.

No-till Soybeans

LINEX 4L is recommended as a tank mix foundation herbicide for no-till soybean production. The addition of Canopy®, Synchrony® XP or 2,4-D LVE will improve burndown and residual control in glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.
