Q.
|
How effective is Aim™ ?
|
A.
|
Aim
provides broad-spectrum control of your toughest broadleaves and
sedges, including Indian and Northern joint vetch, hemp sesbania,
Pennsylvania smartweed and morningglories. It's fast acting, so you'll
see it start working just a few hours after application. And it's safe
for your rice as well as any rotational crops you have planned. |
| |
| Q. |
When is the best time to apply Aim?
|
| A. |
Aim
is most effective when weeds are smaller -- generally less than four
inches tall and with rosettes less than three inches across. |
| |
| Q. |
Why should I use Aim in a tank mix?
|
| A. |
Aim
fills the holes that are left in standard weed control programs,
including propanil, Permit and Londax® herbicides. Propanil is
especially effective in controlling susceptible barnyardgrass, and
broadleaf signalgrass, but is not effective on broadleaves. Permit
improves the sedge control (rice flatsedge and annual nutsedge) but
misses joint vetch and hemp sesbania. Londax adds excellent control of
ducksalad and spreading dayflower but offers no control of
morningglories. This is where Aim can add the extra spectrum of control
to make a complete product out of the tank mix partner. |

| Q. |
How will Aim affect my yields?
|
| A. |
When
you control damaging weeds, one of the primary stresses to your crop is
eliminated. Weed control, pest control, good water management and a
good fertility program ensure that you've provided the best scenario
for high rice yields. |
| |
| Q. |
How does Aim work?
|
| A. |
The
active ingredient in Aim, carfentrazone-ethyl, is a protoporphyrinogen
oxidase (PPO) inhibitor. This alternate mode of action disrupts cell
membranes on contact, resulting in rapid desiccation of susceptible
weeds. |
| |
| Q. |
How environmentally friendly is Aim?
|
| A. |
Aim
has been approved by the EPA as a reduced-risk herbicide. It's a
contact herbicide, so rates of application are very low and there's no
residual. As a result, less chemical is introduced into the
environment, and you'll have no problems with rotation crops. |
| |
| Q. |
Is Aim expensive?
|
| A. |
Actually, Aim is quite economical. Its low use rate, competitive pricing and superior control make Aim an exceptional value. |
