ANTHEM’s advanced SC (suspension concentrate) formulation technology delivers higher efficacy versus grass weeds compared to standard CS (capsule suspension) formulations of the same active ingredient and is more user-friendly thanks to its easy pour and easy rinse qualities.
ANTHEM can be used up until BBCH 30 to provide a broad spectrum of weed control and is the ideal tank mix partner to improve residual activity of black-grass control programmes.
Independent trials which were carried out at eight sites over the last two seasons have shown that the addition of 3L/ha of ANTHEM reduces the variability in performance of a pre-emergence treatment of an aclonifen, flufenacet and diflufenican combination when targeting a high-pressure population of difficult to control black-grass. Across the eight trials, the addition of ANTHEM reduced black-grass heading by an average of 9%, with the inter-quartile range of heading control ranging between 33 and 74% for the base aclonifen, flufenacet and diflufenican treatment improving to between 55 and 84% control with the addition of ANTHEM.
The addition of ANTHEM as a tank mix partner with Proclus and Liberator improves black-grass control
