Co-op Grow Team members work closely with local farmers to determine the required products for every acre. “Early and timely scouting and consultation with local agronomists is a good strategy to build out an effective plan to deal with tough-to-kill and often herbicide-resistant weeds,” said Chris Iverson, Private Brand Manager at Federated Co-operatives Limited. Co-op’s private brand portfolio continues to expand and features products for every step of the way.
Pre-seed Burnoff
An effective pre-seed burnoff is one of the most important steps in growing a bumper crop.
- Vector 540 — A highly concentrated formulation of glyphosate for non-selective weed control in most systems that controls over 40 key weed species found in Western Canada.
- Convex — A fast and flexible pre-seed weed control for cereals, soybeans and corn. A key resistance management tool. Adding Convex to your pre-burn application with glyphosate helps reduce the risk of herbicide-resistant weeds by using three different groups in one spray application.
