"The majority of our acres have problem weeds such as triazine-resistants, Iamb's quarters, pigweed and foxtail. One pass through the field with PURSUIT, and those problems are gone." Neil farms with his wife, Donna, on 2200 acres in Huron County. To spread the work load, they use PURSUIT both preplant incorporated and post emergent. "We choose to use PURSUIT in PPI to spread the work, and post -emergent so that we get the benefit of a contact spray." They recently switched to PURSUIT from a program of split application of preplant incorporated and a follow-up pre -emergent spray. "We wanted a more dependable program, one which would get us great weed control with one pass through the field. That one -pass confidence is why I will continue to use and recommend PURSUIT." Top soybean growers like Neil Hemingway rely on PURSUIT for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that PURSUIT will control their grass and broadleaf weeds - including velvetleaf, nightshade and triazine-resistants - under any kind of growing conditions. Performance. Consistency. Flexibility. That's what control's all about.
