| Fall Application to Control Henbit & Marestail—Southern U.S. |

Fall Henbit and Marestail Control Solution Henbit and marestail are proving to be tough weeds to control in the spring.  Marestail germinates nearly year-round so it can begin its command over a field immediately after harvest, gathering reserves until spring burn down  Henbit can delay the soil from drying out and/or warming up in the spring, which can result in a delay in planting  Marestail produces up to 230,000 seeds per plant, spreading the population quickly  Marestail is now commonly resistant to multiple herbicides, but not Valor® EZ Herbicide 2  Due to the long emergence pattern of marestail, a fall-applied herbicide with crop rotational flexibility can allow fields to stay weed free longer in the spring compared to a burn down alone There is a solution—unleash the preemergence power of Valor EZ on henbit and marestail in the fall before the weed’s root system can take command.
