All-In On
PRE-SEED.
Because strong starts lead to stronger finishes.
Pre-seed is where momentum is built.
It’s the first chance to take control, simplify decisions, and put pressure on weeds before they put pressure on you. When it’s done right, everything that comes next, from in-crop to harvest and beyond, runs smoother.
ADAMA starts with listening. We’re experts in what growers are up against — not theory, not trends. Just real conditions in real fields. From there, we develop pre-seed solutions that respect time, reduce complexity, and deliver control where it matters most.
That’s why our pre-seed approach focuses on protecting crops from problem weeds like kochia, with GORDEX™ and EMPHASIS® MAX leading the way.
GORDEX™
The all-liquid mix that makes pre-seed control even easier.
Pre-seed control should move as fast as you do. GORDEX™’s all-liquid formulation sprays clean, avoids clogs, and helps lock in early weed control, so you spend less time fighting equipment and more time moving forward.
EMPHASIS® MAX
The head start that
leaders choose.
Built with high-concentration actives and dual modes of action, EMPHASIS® MAX delivers decisive early control when it matters most. It helps shut down kochia and other problematic weeds before they take hold, giving your crop a cleaner start.

Three out of Five Canadian Growers are Affected by Herbicide-Resistant Weeds
Herbicide resistant weeds are estimated to cost producers between $1.1 to 1.5 billion annually in terms of increased herbicide use and decreased yield and quality*.
Wild oat herbicide resistance alone costs prairie growers an average of $12/ac. To give your crops the best protection possible, ADAMA’s well-rounded pre-seed herbicide portfolio provides multiple options, like EMPHASIS® MAX, a glyphosate partner that uses multiple modes of action to reduce resistance while also controlling a wide array of additional broadleaf and grassy weeds.

Early Emerging Weeds Can Germinate at Temperatures as Low as 1.7°C
With only so much space, nutrients and sunlight to go around, early emerging weeds can rob your cereals and canola of their early-season potential. They can also introduce diseases, alter soil profiles, and contribute to unwanted genetic resistance.
To protect your crops from early-season weed pressures, tank-mix with EMPHASIS® MAX, which utilizes multiple modes of action for faster burndown control of a broad spectrum of early emerging weeds, including broadleaf and grassy weeds, when combined with glyphosate.

When Your Best Friend Becomes Your Worst Enemy: Controlling Volunteer Canola
While glyphosate plays an important role in controlling early weed pressures, it does little to protect growers against the economic impact of volunteer canola in canola.
And based on some recent studies this can be robbing Western Canadian growers of around $580M in income. By tank-mixing with a herbicide like EMPHASIS® MAX, you can be amongst the 10% of farmers using multiple modes of action to get faster burndown control of volunteer canola, broadleaf and grassy weeds.
