DuPont News Release
Wheat and barley growers in Eastern Canada have a powerful new tool to control tough broadleaf weeds, while managing the threat of herbicide resistance.
DuPont Crop Protection announced today that new DuPont™ Barricade® M herbicide has been registered for control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds in winter wheat, spring wheat and barley.
"Barricade® M delivers consistently powerful performance on no fewer than 22 broadleaf weeds," says David Kloppenburg, Row Crop Manager for DuPont Crop Protection. "That includes hard-to-kill weeds like cleavers, chickweed, perennial sow thistle, wild buckwheat, hemp-nettle and dandelion, while also providing suppression of Canada thistle."
As Kloppenburg explains, Barricade® M is a multiple mode of action product containing four active ingredients from two herbicide groups (Groups 2 and 4). This means outstanding performance and a strong defense against herbicide-resistant weeds that works today and will for years to come.
Barricade® M is packaged in a lightweight 40 acre case that contains a dry herbicide in a 486-gram jug and two liquid herbicide jugs. Barricade® M is powered by Solumax® soluble granules for effective and consistent weed control and easier sprayer cleanout, for reduced risk to subsequently sprayed crops.
In a busy growing season, you can't afford to be constrained by an overly narrow window of application. Barricade® M can be sprayed as early as the 3-leaf stage and as late as just before the flag leaf. It's also highly crop-safe and allows for flexible crop rotation the following year.
In Kloppenburg's view, new DuPont™ Barricade® M herbicide delivers what growers today are looking for.
"Barricade® M brings together exceptional performance on broadleaf weeds, including the toughest, with sound resistance management, agronomic flexibility and grower convenience," says Kloppenburg. "Barricade® M raises the bar even higher on broadleaf weed control in wheat and barley.
