Heat
Heat herbicide improves your pre-seed or chemfallow glyphosate application, killing weeds fast so you can start your crop off in the cleanest field possible.
Heat as a harvest aid provides fast, complete dry down, limiting crop regrowth and decreasing the days until harvesting.
4 AVAILABLE
Pre-seed/Pre-emergence
Harvest Aid - When used as a harvest aid, Heat causes green leaves to lose water and dry down, decreasing the time before harvesting can occur.

Heat, tank-mixed with glyphosate, also provides fast top growth of dandelions and narrow-leaved hawk’s beard.
*Includes glyphosate-resistant and/or Group 2-resistant biotypes. Refer to the glyphosate label for a full description of weeds controlled.
**Rapid control of spring emerged seedlings and rapid top growth control of perennials (<15 cm) when combined with glyphosate.
***Rapid control of (<8 cm) narrow-leaved hawk’s beard when combined with glyphosate
****Rapid control of (up to 4 whorls) winter and spring annual cleavers when combined glyphosate
1 For rapid burndown and suppression of secondary weed flushes (Use rate: 71 g/ha)

Harvest Aid
To optimize the use of Heat as a harvest aid, follow these guidelines:
The tank mix with glyphosate may affect the seed germination. DO NOT tank mix with glyphosate when harvested grain is to be used for seed. DO NOT tank mix glyphosate with Heat on sunflowers.

Dry Beans*/Soybeans
Field Peas
Sunflowers**
*When tank-mixed with glyphosate, consult glyphosate label or BASF representative for information on the use on specific varieties of Dry Beans.
**Glyphosate is not registered for pre-harvest use in sunflowers. When applying to sunflowers, use Heat as a stand-alone product only.

*Rate restrictions apply. Do not use rates higher than 26 g/ha (11 g/ac) or crop injury may result.
**Rate restrictions apply. Do not use rates higher than 26 g/ha (11 g/ac) or crop injury may result. Some soybean cultivars may be more sensitive to saflufenacil and injury might occur.
***Some sweet corn hybrids may be more sensitive to saflufenacil and injury might occur.
Mixing Instructions
For broad spectrum weed control, Heat should always be tank mixed with glyphosate present as isopropylamine salt, di-ammonium salt or potassium salt. Heat is compatible with all liquid glyphosate formulations, in which glyphosate is present as isopropylamine salt, di-ammonium salt or potassium salt, as a tank-mix partner.
Harvest Aid
One jug of Heat herbicide will treat 40 acres tank mixed with glyphosate. One case of Heat herbicide will treat 320 acres when tank mixed with glyphosate.
Stand alone rate |
52 g/ha (21 g/ac) of Heat + adjuvant |
Tank-mix rate |
52 g/ha (21 g/ac) of Heat + 2.5 L/ha of glyphosate* (360 g/L equivalent) + adjuvant |
Water volume |
200 L/ha ground, 76 L/ac (20 g/ac) minimum 50 L/ha aerial, 20 L/ac (5g/ac) |
Surfactant/Adjuvant |
Add Merge or MSO Adjuvant at a rate of 0.5 L/ha |
*Glyphosate should not be applied on sunflowers or for seed production.
Please see the label for complete instructions on ground and aerial applications. Consult the label of the tank mix partner product for further use instructions, precautions and restrictions. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes.
Mixing Instructions
Dispose of all rinsings in accordance with provincial regulations
