Just ask a cora grower why.
Ask the man who grows corn year after .
year why he uses Ekko 80W- and he'll likely
tell you that Ekko is simply the most
effective, flexible herbicide for annual
grasses and broadleaf weed control.
Many growers found that a herbicide
program in a continuous corn operation
allowed the build-up of annual grasses.
The solution to this problem is Ekko.
Ekko controls those problem grasses and
broadleaf weeds -whether it's applied
pre -plant incorporated, or pre -emergence,
or post -emergence with oil. Ekko is also
effective to control quackgrass, especiall
when used as a split application,
Whether your corn herbicide
program begins with Ekko, or whether you
use it as a rescue treatment, you'll find Ekko
most effective.
Just ask the grower whouses Ekko.
Ekko. 80W is intended for growers with a
predominance of annual grasses in their
fields -and who plan to' grow corn in the
same fields next year.
Ekko offers superior control of annual
grasses and broadleaf weeds; flexibility in
application timing; and complete safety to
your corn crop.
Ekko is available from
your local dealer.
