Overview

Acuron Herbicide

Q: When can Acuron ® corn herbicide be applied?

Acuron ® corn herbicide can be applied from 28 days preplant up to 12-inch corn, giving growers flexibility for preemergence and early post-emergence weed control in corn. For best results, apply Acuron preemergence to prevent early-season weed competition.

Q: How does Acuron ® corn herbicide manage herbicide-resistant weeds?

Acuron ® corn herbicide helps manage herbicide-resistant weeds by combining four effective active ingredients and three sites of action, which supports broad-spectrum weed control and resistance management for weeds that may no longer respond to a single site of action.

Q: How does Acuron ® corn herbicide help provide higher yield potential in corn?

Acuron ® corn herbicide controls tough, yield-robbing weeds before they can compete with corn for nutrients, sunlight and water. When applied preemergence and at full label rates, Acuron helps deliver a 5-15 bu/A yield advantage compared to competitive leading corn herbicides in replicated Syngenta and university trials. 1 1 When applied preemergence and at full label rates. Acuron ® corn herbicide yield advantage range based on 2016 Syngenta and University trials comparing Acuron to Corvus ® , Resicore ® , SureStart ® II and Verdict ® .

Q: What is bicyclopyrone in Acuron ® corn herbicide?

Bicyclopyrone is an active ingredient in Acuron ® corn herbicide that helps provide faster knockdown, enhanced control and longer-lasting residual weed control. In Acuron, bicyclopyrone works with mesotrione, atrazine and S -metolachlor to help deliver broad spectrum weed control and support resistance management in corn.

Q: What weeds does Acuron ® corn herbicide help control?

Acuron ® corn herbicide helps control 70+ tough grasses and broadleaf weeds, including resistant weed biotypes like Palmer amaranth and waterhemp.

With four effective herbicide active ingredients (AIs), including the unique component bicyclopyrone, Acuron helps prevent early-season weed competition giving you more bushels in the bin this season, while minimizing the number of weed seeds deposited into your soil, giving you a cleaner start next season.

Benefits

Early-Season Weed Control

Applied before crop emergence, Acuron provides built-in burndown and residual control that can help prevent your corn from emerging in the presence of nutrient- and yield-robbing weeds.

Resistance Management

Containing 4 effective AIs and 3 sites of action, Acuron is the top herbicide solution for resistance management, controlling your toughest grass and broadleaf weeds, including resistant weed biotypes.

More Bushels in the Bin

Acuron protects corn from yield-robbing weeds and outyields other herbicides by 5 to 15 bu/A*, equaling more bushels in your bin and more profit in your pocket.

More Bushels in the Bin

When applied preemergence and at full label rates, Acuron helps you discover 5-15 more bushels per acre than with any other herbicide for corn because it controls tough, yield-robbing weeds better.^* Less weed competition translates into more nutrients, sunlight and water available for the growing corn crop, which leads to an increase in corn yield and revenue potential.
