Dow PrePass

Leave Nothing Behind

For the cleanest start possible in cereals, start with a Dow AgroSciences pre-seed herbicide. We offer four options for superior pre-seed weed control that are better than glyphosate alone.

SoilActive™ technology extends broadleaf weed control, so you control the weeds you see and the weeds you don’t. Spray up to two weeks before seeding and rest easy, knowing you’ll seed into clean fields.

Get better control than glyphosate alone on winter annuals, flushing weeds and volunteer canola, including all herbicide-tolerant canola varieties.

Save time and money when inoculating your pulse crops

The ALPINE Injection Kit has proved to be a convenient and efficient way for growers to inoculate their pulse crops by utilizing their ALPINE G22 starter nutrition as a delivery system for these products. The ALPINE Injection kit allows the grower to save time by not having to treat the seed and it also allows them to free up a tank on their air cart if they have previously been using a granular inoculant. Many growers are noting an additional bump in yield with the combined in-furrow treatments. Call an ALPINE DSM or ALPINE Retailer for all the information.
