WE ARE All In On Pre-Seed

No matter how resistant weeds get, we’re ready. By using trusted pre-seed solutions and preventing weed growth before it starts, you’ll give your crops a better chance to thrive. Applying herbicides in combination with other weed management strategies before planting can reduce the competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight that weeds often cause. After all, your hard work should support the growth of your crops, not weeds.

All-new PRIORITY® HL is a more convenient, improved formulation that offers flawless mixability with all glyphosates, providing extended control of volunteer canola and winter annuals prior to cereals. And with the dual modes of action in EMPHASIS® MAX, you’ll conquer a wide range of broadleaf weeds including kochia. Now you’re in control.

Q: What can ADAMA give your crops this season?

Answer

A head start.


All In On your success


Beat weeds early and clear the way for your crops with these innovative solutions:


PRIORITY® HL is an evolution of our previous PRIORITY® solution. It is a new high load liquid formulation with flawless tank mixability with all glyphosates. When applied in spring, PRIORITY® HL cleans up winter annuals before seeding, making it a top choice for early-season weed control if you’re growing cereals.

If you’re looking for a powerful kochia management product, try our EMPHASIS® MAX. This high-performance herbicide combines two modes of action to tackle tough broadleaf weeds, including kochia, glyphosate-tolerant canola and Group 2/Group 9 resistant biotypes.

Win the war against grassy and broadleaf weeds with SQUADRON®. Applied pre-seed prior to field peas, this Group 5 herbicide targets tough weeds like kochia, Persian darnel, and hempnettle while supporting resistance management. Victory is yours.

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.

Because early emerging weeds can germinate at low temperatures, they can begin growing before the planted crop and become more difficult to control if left untreated. This is especially true if the seedlings “harden” in cool spring weather

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.
