SureStart™ – Designed with Convenience in Mind

With SureStart™ herbicide, there's no guesswork involved in determining the correct rate (Table 1).

  Table 1. Use Rates for SureStart by Soil Texture and Organic Matter Content  

Most foundation treatments for Roundup Ready^® corn today consist of reduced rates of soil-applied herbicides that were designed for conventional corn. If you cut rates too much, grasses or broadleaf weeds break through and are left uncontrolled. That hurts your corn's yield potential in the same way weeds do when they don't get a soil-applied treatment – except that you're out the cost of the herbicide and the application. If you don't cut rates as much, you may end up using more product than necessary. Trying to guess how much of a conventional corn herbicide to apply on your Roundup Ready corn acres leaves you with a weed management strategy that may not effectively control weeds.

With the convenience of a use-rate designed for Roundup Ready corn, SureStart provides foundation weed control tailored to individual weed control needs without the hassles of reduced rate applications.
