Date:04-16-2013

DuPont introduces herbicide Titus™ PRO, which is a new post-emergent herbicide solution that combines DuPont™ Prism® SG (rimsulfuron 25% ) and a 75% DF metribuzin into one convenient co-pack. It is a new tool for powerful, flexible weed control and more convenient resistance management for Western Canadian potato farmers and Canadian processing tomato growers

"Titus™ PRO provides exceptional post-emergent control of a broad spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds, and its multiple modes of action make it an excellent resistance management tool," says Ray Janssen - Market Segment Manager - Horticulture, DuPont Crop Protection.

Packaged in a convenient, easy to use 40 acre case, DuPont™ Titus™ PRO delivers multiple modes of action - Group 2 and Group 5 - in one co-pack, providing the industry with a proactive resistance management tool.

"Growers have always appreciated the superior control of annual grasses they've achieved using Prism® SG. Now with the additional power of metribuzin, they'll see enhanced residual control of a far wider range of broadleaf weeds as well," says Janssen. "We're pleased to be able to deliver this co-pack of powerful performance and convenience to the largest horticultural market in Canada."

Titus™ PRO controls grassy weeds such as barnyard grass, quackgrass and lamb's-quarters and broadleaf weeds such as cocklebur, common chickweed and post-emergent stinkweed. A full listing of registered uses is available on the product's label.
