Benefits of Certitude
- Certitude contains the active ingredients topramezone (Gr 27) and bromoxynil (Gr 6), to provide both contact and systemic properties.
- Certitude drastically improves the management of tough-to-control weeds such as kochia and volunteer canola, including glyphosate-resistant biotypes.
- Certitude controls biotypes of kochia resistant to Group 2, 4, and 9, which makes it a great tool for resistance management and sustainability.
- Certitude helps to sharpen the performance of glyphosate on challenging weeds such as kochia, volunteer canola and wild buckwheat.

Application Tips
Restricted entry interval – 24 hours.
- Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.
- Should the product freeze, agitate or mix contents well before use.
- Increase water volume with moderate to high weed infestation for better coverage. When targeting weeds resistant to Group 9, such as kochia, increase water volume to 10 gallons per acre.

Mixing in chem handlers with the Certitude Handling Tool
This funnel tool lets you pour and rinse the Certitude Part A container directly in the chem handler. Here’s how to use it:
1. Affix the funnel tool to the Certitude A container.
2. Position the funnel and Certitude A container above the center knife system on the chem handler.
3. Add Certitude A component and continue to agitate until visibly dispersed.
4. Run water for a controlled rinse of the Certitude A container.
5. Important: Do not discard the funnel. It can be used for future Certitude mixing or for affixing to other containers for chem handler rinsing.
