EDGE MICROACTIV HERBICIDE

Edge® MicroActiv® herbicide is a powerful tool for weed control in canola, lentils and other broadleaf crops. Edge MicroActiv contains the active ingredient ethalfluralin, a group 3 mode of action herbicide that controls weeds (such as kochia), which are resistant to other herbicides. Edge MicroActiv is broad-spectrum, controlling many important weeds plaguing growers in Western and Eastern Canada.

MANAGE HERBICIDE RESISTANCE

Herbicide layering is a recommended way to use multiple modes of action to help manage herbicide resistance. Use Edge® MicroActiv® to control kochia and Group 1 and Group 2 resistant wild oats.

TIMING

Get your Edge® MicroActiv® on as soon as you can. Spring and fall are both options, but we recommend applying at the first available opportunity to make sure it gets done.

APPLICATION

Apply Edge® MicroActiv® with a floater, a Valmar® applicator, or another air-flo type applicator to ensure proper coverage of soil. Your local dealer may have a floater or rental equipment so check with them. Valmar® has many product options, but one of the best is to mount a Valmar box directly onto your harrow bar for one-pass application and incorporation.

Calibration for Salford

Lentils - Fall application for both Conventional Tillage and Direct Seeding Systems. Spring application is for use under Direct Seeding Systems only.

Dry Common Beans varieties may vary in their tolerance to EDGE MICROACTIV. Limit application to a small area of each variety to confirm tolerance prior to adoption as a general field practice.
