Controls Tough-To-Kill Broadleaf Weeds as part of an Integrated Weed Management Program

A selective herbicide with an underutilized mode of action, TOUGH® 5EC provides post-emergence control of actively growing broadleaf weeds. 

TOUGH 5EC is especially effective on Kochia, Pigweeds, Palmer Amaranth, Waterhemp, Common Lambsquarters, and Black Nightshades. It is even effective on strains resistant to other more-commonly used herbicides.

Alternative post emergence broadleaf weed control options are limited for chickpea and lentil growers, and there are currently no economically or environmentally feasible practices available. Unirrigated acres rely on rainfall to active pre-emergence herbicides to suppress or control weeds. Often 20% or more yield is lost due to weed growth.

This was my first time I had ever gotten my hands on TOUGH 5EC. I was very impressed, it did a phenomenal job! The weed control was great and there was no detrimental effect on the chickpeas.

The weed suppression was good, and the grower was pleased. Following this split field experiment, they would have liked to have done the whole field.
