Dow Herbicide Approved In US

“Because it can be applied from preplant up to 11-inch-tall corn, SureStart provides Roundup Ready corn a clean start from grasses and broadleaf weeds. University trials have shown these weeds compete for moisture, sunlight, and nutrients, which reduce the yield and profit potential of corn,” said Damon Palmer, product manager for Dow AgroSciences.

The herbicide protects crops against such weeds as lambsquarters, waterhemp, pigweed, common and giant ragweed, nightshade, velvetleaf, foxtails, crabgrass, barnyardgrass, and more, according to the company.
