Get ahead of spring weeds by spraying Fierce, Bifecta or Valtera this fall.

Are there weeds in your fields giving you a headache? Is kochia becoming a bigger problem? Are wild oats a nuisance? Now is the time to start planning for early season weed control next spring. 

Weeds show up early — and steal yield fast in the spring. That’s why growers rely on fall-applied soil active solutions like Fierce® MTZ, Fierce® EZ, Bifecta® EZ and Valtera® Cereals. These proven pre emergent herbicides deliver broad-spectrum control across cereals and pulses, helping you manage resistance, stay flexible and lead the season instead of chasing it. Less in-season pressure. More flexibility when it counts. You don’t need to overhaul your season. Just upgrade your start.

Watch this video and learn how soil active herbicides work to manage spring weeds.

TAKE OUT TOUGH WEEDS WITH FIERCE, BIFECTA OR VALTERA

Valtera, Fierce, and Bifecta knock out tough-to-kill weeds with up to 8 weeks of extended control in pulses, wheat, barley and soybeans. These pre-emergent herbicides can help manage Group 2-, 4- and glyphosate-resistant weeds while staying flexible so you can move from pulses to cereals with no cropping restrictions.

 

 

BENEFITS OF FALL-APPLIED SOIL ACTIVE HERBICIDES

When applied in the fall, Valtera, Fierce and Bifecta create a protective layer of herbicide that activates with spring moisture. While you’re busy seeding next spring, these herbicides actively help control spring weeds as they emerge. The residual activity of Valtera, Fierce and Bifecta takes out multiple flushes of weeds for up to 8 weeks, preserving nutrients and moisture in the soil, and helping your crop get a head start.

TIPS TO MAXIMIZE FALL SOIL ACTIVE APPLICATIONS

In the fall Valtera, Fierce and Bifecta should be applied close to freeze-up or when the soil temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius. Jason Lindgren, Nufarm Territory Manager  shows how to take a proper soil temperature and also shares some other tips to maximize your fall application.

WHAT FARMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT VALTERA AND FIERCE

Fierce EZ worked really well on our farm. We left two check strips so we could tell the difference. It worked really well suppressing the canola, wild mustard, and it worked really well on the kochia as well.

- Megan Moore (Rosetown, SK)

We had a serious kochia problem in this area, and we are finding Valtera is doing an excellent job of controlling kochia in our lentils. And we are able to grow lentils in certain fields that we couldn't in the past.

Why early weed control matters for lentils and peas

Weed management is essential in pulses, because the truth is, they just aren’t competitive crops. Pulse crops are highly susceptible to yield losses of 20-40% as a result of weed competition.
