Pursuit

Group 2

 

Pursuit is a good choice for producers who require broad spectrum broadleaf weed control and have moderate grassy weed pressure.

  • Can be applied early to control tough weeds before they affect yield.
  • Controls multiple flushing weeds present at time of herbicide application, as well as additional flushes of shallow-germinating weeds that develop later.
  • Effective regardless of tillage method being used.
  • With Pursuit, you maximize crop quality and minimize the risk of grade reduction.
  • Exceptional broad-spectrum control in field peas and alfalfa in the black and grey wooded soil zones

Benefits of Pursuit

The unique leaf and root activity of Pursuit controls weeds two ways:

  • Entering through the leaves, Pursuit controls emerged weeds
  • Entering through the roots, Pursuit controls late-germinating weeds that appear after application.

Follow Crops

The following crops may be grown safely one year after application in the black, grey-wooded or irrigated brown soil zones only:
Spring wheat
Field peas
Lentils
Spring barley
Clearfield canola
Alfalfa

  • Non-Clearfield canola can be grown in the third year after application.
  • In the event of crop failure during the year of application, only Clearfield canola or field peas should be grown.
  • PMRA suggests a field bioassay (a test grown to maturity) be conducted the year before growing any crop other than those listed above.

FAQ

Can I apply Pursuit® in Clearfield lentils and still comply with the process? Will I be eligible for BASF Ag Rewards?
  • Pursuit herbicide is not registered for use on Clearfield lentils.
  • Lentil growers who use any non registered herbicide - even in a tank mix - will not be in compliance with the Clearfield Commitment process and therefore will be ineligible for related rewards.
  • Registered herbicides are BASF products which include Solo®, Solo ADV, Solo Ultra, Odyssey®, Odyssey NXT, and Odyssey Ultra NXT.
