Mix it up to protect your yield.

Canada has a very large population of weeds resistant to one or more herbicides. The good news is, pre-seed tank mixing for multiple modes of action can both protect your yield and help with ongoing weed resistance management on your farm. Spraying early is best practice because once your crop is established, it is much harder for weeds to gain a foothold, and the yield benefit of a solid pre-season spray program averages more than two bushels per acre. For more on your tank mix options, visit mixitup.ca.
