Tank Mix Information
Alion (indaziflam)
29
0.375 L/ha
PRE – Do NOT apply prior to any soil disturbance.
May be tank mixed with glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium
Casoron (dichlobenil)
20
110-225 kg/ha
PRE – moist, unfrozen ground in fall or spring
Chateau (flumioxazin)
14
0.28–0.42 kg/ha
PRE – 2 applications, 30 days apart. Do NOT apply after budbreak
May be tank mixed with glyphosate
Frontier Max (dimethenamid)
15
0.963 L/ha
PRE – Do NOT apply during bud swell, bud break or first flush of new growth.
Karmex (diuron)
7
2.25-6.7 kg/ha
PRE – spring and / or fall. Applications must be 90 days apart. Do NOT exceed the maximum rate per year or injury could result.
Princep Nine-T (simazine)
5
4–5 kg/ha
PRE – apply after hills are removed but before weed emergence.
May be tank mixed with glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium

NOTE: Alion can only be applied to established plantings > 5 years; Casoron and Chateau can only be applied to established plantings > 2 years; Karmex and Princep Nine-T can only be applied to established plantings > 3years.

Tank Mixes

Tank mixes with burn down herbicides (glyphosate, glufosinate ammonium and paraquat) if emerged weeds are present are needed for Alion and Chateau because neither of these herbicides have activity on germinated weeds. Consider tank mixes with other PRE herbicides to both broaden the weed spectrum and manage the selection of herbicide resistant weeds.
