Application tips

  • Rainfall is required within 7 to 10 days of treatment to activate and move Frontier Max herbicide into the soil zone.
  • If dry conditions persist, a shallow cultivation or the use of a rotary hoe is necessary to move the chemical into moist soil and control weed escapes.
  • If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, tillage should be shallow to minimize dilution of the herbicide.
  • Frontier Max may be applied in a liquid-fertilizer carrier as a replacement for water for pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence applications on corn.
  • For pre-plant incorporated applications, dry bulk fertilizers may be impregnated with Frontier Max or Frontier Max plus atrazine.

  • Consult the label for rotational crop restrictions before using.
