Sortan™ IS corn herbicide removes early season weed pressure from volunteer Roundup Ready® canola in corn. Sortan IS provides extended control of tough broadleaf and grassy weeds throughout the critical weed free period.


Benefits

Maximize your corn yield by controlling weeds early with Sortan IS herbicide.

Removes early-season weed competition

Sortan IS herbicide is designed to remove early season weed competition including volunteer Roundup Ready® canola and wild buckwheat.

Resistance management

Sortan IS provides an additional mode of action to glyphosate, making it a great tool for effective resistance management.

Extended control

Extended control of tough broadleaf and grassy weeds throughout the critical weed free period.

Critical weed free period

Sortan IS is a powerful and versatile tool that can be applied from pre-emergence or spike to the V3 stage, which will help growers keep their corn weed free during the critical weed-free period. The critical weed free period in corn is from emergence to the V4 (6 leaf) stage. Removing weeds during this period is key to minimizing yield loss due to weed competition in corn.

Crops

  • Mixing Instructions
    1) Fill clean tank about 1⁄3 full with fresh water.
    2) Turn on full agitation.
    3) With the agitator running, add the required amount of Sortan IS Herbicide. Continue to agitate for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure that Sortan IS Herbicide is completely dissolved.
    4) Once granules are dissolved continue to fill the tank to 2⁄3 to 3⁄4 full, then add the required amount of the tank mix partner.
    5) After Sortan IS Herbicide (and tank mixed herbicide if applicable) has been well mixed and is in suspension, add a recommended non-ionic surfactant at 2 L per 1,000 L spray solution (0.2 % v/v). Surfactant not required if tank mixing with 360 g per acre glyphosate.
    6) Fill the remainder of the spray tank.
    7) For repeat tank loads, reduce the material remaining in the tank to 10% of the original volume or less before proceeding with step 1, because remaining chemicals may prevent Sortan IS Herbicide granules from completely dissolving. If this is not possible, pre-slurry Sortan IS Herbicide in a small amount (5-10 L) of water before adding to the tank.

    Tank clean-out
    Ammonia based cleaners are preferred.
