DuPont Launches New SU Herbicide Sequence App

DuPont are pleased to announce the launch of a new free smartphone app to help guide growers and agronomists through the complicated issues associated with ALS herbicide tank-mixes and sequences.

The app gives up to date information on CRD approved ALS sequences and tank-mix options and access to the complete DuPont ALS tank-mix and sequence database. It works via 3G and is updated instantly with the most current recommendations. In addition, growers can gain access to the DuPont technical hotline at any time, via a simple smart button within the app.

The backlog in controlling autumn germinating weeds caused by a very wet autumn will increase the need for tank-mixing and sequencing of ALS herbicides for both grass and BLW control this spring.  ALS sequences or tank-mixes must be registered with CRD and it is a legal requirement that growers must adhere to the label. ALS sequences and tank-mixes are product specific, just because different product s may contain the same active ingredients,  it cannot be assumed that their ALS tank-mix and sequence options are the same.

This adds to a level of complexity at a time when growers are under increasing pressure. Fortunately, this smart phone app puts this information at the grower and agronomists fingertips.
