Taking
Weed Control to the Next Degree: Degree® and Degree XTRA® Herbicides.
Degree® and Degree XTRA® herbicides work like no other corn herbicides thanks to an exclusive and patented temperature-release technology. You can count on season-long residual grass and small seeded broadleaf control that outlasts other herbicides by 15 days or more. Degree and Degree XTRA provide essential early-season weed control and provides the farmer more flexibility in timing over-the-top applications of Roundup® brand agricultural herbicides.
The Roundup Ready Rate™ of Degree (3.0 pints) and Degree XTRA (2.0 quarts) can be applied in the Roundup Ready® Corn 2 System.
Features & Benefits
-
Early-season weed control to maximize corn yield potential.
-
A Roundup Ready Rate of Degree brands provides you with early-season weed control and increased flexibility for over-the-top treatments with Roundup brand agricultural herbicides in the Roundup Ready Corn 2 System.
-
Use of a residual herbicide in the Roundup Ready Corn 2 System is recommended by Monsanto and university weed specialists to minimize the risk of the potential development of weed resistance.
-
Degree and Degree XTRA provide a patented temperature-released technology that extends the weed-control power of these herbicides. Other soil applied residuals release all chemicals all at once, which can jeopardize your weed-control efforts over time.
-
The temperature-release technology is designed so that atrazine is available immediately upon application, but the acetochlor and safener are both encapsulated. The safener diffuses through the capsule first, then the acetochlor is released over time, providing superior crop safety for emerging crop seedlings.
-
Weed control from Degree and Degree XTRA can outlast other products like Bicep® II Magnum by up to 15 days.
-
Degree and Degree XTRA offer tank-mixing flexibility from early preplant to postemergence applications.
