Surtain

Group 14 & Group 15

A powerful combination of Group 14 and 15 chemistries for residual weed control in field corn when it matters.

  • Residual endurance: delivers residual control on a broad spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds, including resistant biotypes
  • Unique chemistry combination: first-of-its-kind solid-encapsulated herbicide technology that provides multiple modes of effective action
  • Flexibility: From pre-emergence to early post-emergence, the residual power of Surtain™ herbicide is an excellent tank-mix partner to Marksman® herbicide, Engenia® herbicide and atrazine plus glyphosate

  • Excellent residual control on tough weeds like lamb’s quarters, redroot pigweed, waterhemp, common ragweed, foxtail (giant, green, yellow), large crabgrass, barnyard grass
  • Flexible application timing from pre-emergence to early post-emergence
  • Combination of two powerful actives to provide multiple modes of effective action
  • Tank mix flexibility to customize with Marksman, Engenia or atrazine plus glyphosate
  • Compatibility with UAN and ATS (pre-emergent applications)

Application Tips

Restricted entry interval – 12 hours.8

 

Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.

DO NOT apply when winds are gusty.

DO NOT apply on peat or muck soils or soils with 7% or more organic matter.

 

Resistance management – Rotate the use of Surtain or other Group 14/15 herbicides within a growing season (sequence), or among growing seasons, with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Tank mix with herbicides from a different group.

 

Pre-harvest interval

60 days after application for field corn.9

 

8 Restricted entry interval to perform hand-set irrigation activities is 2 days.

9 Corn forage and silage can be used as feed or grazed 60 days or more after an early-season application of Surtain. 

When to apply

Crop  Staging 
Field corn pre-emergence, post-emergence up to 3 leaf

How much to apply

One case will treat 40 acres at the recommended rate of 405 ml/ac (1.0 L/ha).

 

Field corn

405 ml/ac (1.0 L/ha)

Mixing order

  1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 full with clean water. Start agitation system.
  2. If using a wettable powder or water dispersible granule tank mix partner, add the correct amount to the tank and continue agitation until thoroughly dispersed.
  3. Using a calibrated measuring device, add the correct amount of Surtain. Continue to agitate.
  4. If required, add the correct amount of liquid, solution or suspension product tank-mix partner.
  5. If required, add the correct amount of glyphosate.
  6. If required, add in the correct amount of adjuvant or surfactant last.
  7. Continue agitation while filling the spray tank with the remaining amount of water.
  8. DO NOT allow the spray solution to remain in the spray boom lines overnight or for extended periods of time. A delay in application from the time of mixing may result in temporary crop injury when applied post-emergence to the crop.
  9. Immediately after use, thoroughly clean the sprayer by flushing the system with clean water containing detergent within 24 hours. 

Tank mixes

Marksman, Engenia, Armezon® herbicide10, Aatrex® Liquid 480 herbicide, glyphosate11, Callisto® 480SC herbicide

 

See label for more details on tank mixes. 

 

10 When applying Surtain with Armezon, an additional tank-mix partner is required. See Surtain label for details.

11 When applying Surtain with glyphosate as a tank-mix partner, use glyphosate present as isopropylamine, potassium or diammonium salt.
