Technical Specifications

Application Method

Apply Commenza in conventional, conservation tillage or no-till soybean production systems.

Soybeans: Do not apply to areas where the soil pH is greater than 7.8 and organic matter is less than 2% (both apply) as this may result in decreased crop tolerance.

Soybean Application Methods: Surface pre-plant, pre-emergence, pre-plant incorporated

Rainfast: 2 hours
Rates
- 35 g/ac + 225 g/ac +525 ml/ac
Acres Treated: 20 acres/case

Water Volume: 10-20 US gal/ac
Packaging
Case:
- Broadstrike RC: 715 g bottle
- Metribuzin Mx 75 DF: 4.5 kg jug

- 10 months: spring wheat, spring barley, oats, soybeans, common beans (dry, snap), lima beans, processing peas, field corn and seed corn
- Following an application of Commenza in a dry year, the risk of injury to rotational crops may increase in light-textured soils containing less than 2% organic matter due to a higher bioavailability of herbicide residues for plant uptake.
