Adama Canada: new Outshine broadleaf herbicide for cereals

Annual broadleaf weed control in cereals. Broad spectrum. Three active ingredients. Two modes of action. What’s not to like about new Outshine™ herbicide? For control of tough broadleaf weeds like cleavers, chickweed, hemp-nettle, kochia and wild buckwheat, Adama’s newest herbicide Outshines the competition.

 

“Outshine will fit for those farmers who are struggling with some of the tougher broadleaf weeds, especially some of the Group 2 resistant weeds. In the Black, Gray and Dark Brown soil zones, chickweed, cleavers and hemp-nettle can be challenges that Outshine can clean up. In the Brown soil zones, it can take on kochia, flixweed, wild buckwheat and smartweeds,” says Steve Lepper, Adama Area Business Manager in Brandon MB. “It has good re-cropping flexibility as well.”

 

Outshine contains the active ingredients florasulam and fluroxypyr, in a co-pack with MCPA ester. Florasulam is a Group 2 herbicide and fluroxypyr and MCPA ester are Group 4 herbicides. This proven combination of active ingredients provides outstanding broadleaf weed control including Group 2 resistant cleavers, hemp-nettle and kochia. And with control of red root and Russian pigweeds, smartweeds and wild buckwheat, Outshine cleans up on a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds for cleaner fields and higher yields.

 

“The multiple modes of action not only help control Group 2 resistant biotypes, but using products with two modes of action is also a proven method of helping to manage herbicide resistance,” says Lepper. “Outshine is also able to control kochia that has developed resistance to Group 2 and Group 9 (glyphosate).”

 

Outshine can be used on spring and durum wheat and barley. Application timing is from the two- to six-leaf stage, allowing growers the flexibility to go in early to eliminate weed competition. Outshine can also be tank-mixed with grassy weed herbicides for one-shot weed control. Tank mixes include Assert® on spring and durum wheat and barley, Axial® on spring wheat (not durum) and barley, and Everest® on spring and durum wheat.

 

Wheat, barley, oat, canola and pea can be planted the year following an Outshine application, and there are no re-cropping restrictions the second year after application. With this re-cropping flexibility, Outshine is suited to many crop rotation systems across the Prairies.
