Canada Oks DuPont's Assure II Herbicide

DuPont Crop Protection recently announced that DuPont Assure II herbicide(quizalofop p-ethyl) has been registered for control of downy brome in canola, flax, peas, lentils, dry beans and other oilseed and pulse crops in Canada. Assure II is also registered on these crops to control foxtail barley, green and yellow foxtail, volunteer cereals, wild oats and other grassy weeds.

"Downy brome is a weed that's expanding rapidly across the Western Canada" said Todd Friday, Market Segment Manager with DuPont Crop Protection . "It's also hard to control, and until now, no product in the category was registered for this purpose. This label addition is another reason why Assure II brings more value to growers than competitive products."

In fact, as Friday explained, Assure II is one of the most useful and versatile products on the market, period. Growers like its wide application window, applicability to many crops, lack of re-cropping restrictions and long list of tank-mix partners. Among these tank-mixes, growers count on Assure II to bring extra grass activity to Liberty herbicide in InVigor canola. It's also a trusted addition to glyphosate in Roundup Ready canola.
