For the ultimate burndown this spring.

• Fast, consistent weed control up to the 8 leaf stage.

• Complements and improves your Roundup® application.

• Unique Group 14 chemistry for management of resistant weeds.

In a pre-seed application, we use Heat with glyphosate and it burns down the weeds very fast. We fi nd it’s very effective on kochia and narrow-leaf hawk’s beard.

Its more active strain of rhizobia stimulates growth in peas, lentils and wallets.

High-performance inoculant for value and yield boosts of 3% to 8%.

• Highly effi cient, more active Rhizobium leguminosarum strain.

• Advanced, vigorous and robust roots with increased branching and growth.

• Maximized nodulation for increased nitrogen fi xation.

• Greener plants above ground, with improved growth uniformity.

• Better nutrient uptake for increased seedling vigour.

It more than lived up to our expectations. The solid core granules

were convenient and easy to use with no bridging and the fl ow was

very good even in cool weather conditions. Nodulator XL gave us a

lentil yield that we were happy with despite a wet and generally poor

growing season.

Innovative technology that delivers.• Includes the same active ingredient found in Headline®, for the AgCelence® benefits* of greener leaves, stronger stems, and higher yield potential** in pulse crops.

• Uses innovative technology with the new active ingredient, Xemium®, providing unique mobility within the plant for continuous and more consistent disease control.

• Two unique active ingredients for multiple modes of action as part of a disease resistance management plan.

*AgCelence benefits refer to products that contain the active ingredient pyraclostrobin.**All comparisons are to untreated, unless otherwise stated.

Because your post-harvest plan doesn’t include weeds.

For improved control in post-harvest applications.

• Tank-mixed with Roundup, Distinct herbicide provides superior,

broad-spectrum weed control.

• Combines Group-19 and Group-4 active ingredients for superior activity

on tough-to-control broadleaf weeds including kochia, dandelion and

herbicide-resistant biotypes.

• Keeps your fi elds clean, with excellent follow-crop fl exibility, including

canola and pulses, to set your fi elds up for success the following year.

We’ve used Distinct herbicide the past two years, both in post-harvest applications and we’ve been seeing very good results on thistle control… (and) wild buckwheat control was very nice.
