Anthem Flex herbicide offers control of pigweed species including ALS- and glyphosate -resistant Palmer amaranth, says Bruce Stripling, FMC regional technical service manager. It also offers suppression of Texas panicum.
Palmer amaranth and Texas panicum are highly competitive weeds peanut growers need to keep in check. A layered residual herbicide program is the best approach, according to Eric Castner, FMC regional technical service manager. With its low use rate, liquid formulation and long residual, Anthem Flex herbicide fits into existing sequential peanut herbicide programs and is an excellent tank-mix partner with other postemergence peanut herbicides, Castner states. The use of an adjuvant is recommended.
