How it works

• ARES herbicide combines two active ingredients to deliver reliable control of grassy and broadleaf weeds for the Clearfield canola production system.
• Applied post emergence, ARES is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed through the roots and leaves and moves quickly throughout the plant.
• Weeds stop growing soon after treatment and continue to effectively die off up to two weeks after application.
• ARES also provides enough residual activity for control of tough, small, shallow-germinating seeds without compromising seeding in the following year.

When to apply

ARES provides a wide window of application, helping you control early-emerging weeds before they affect your yield.

**non-Clearfield wheat only

How much to apply

• ARES herbicide is provided as a convenient liquid pre-mix with each case containing enough herbicide to treat 40 acres (16 hectares).
• ARES should be applied in a water volume of 100 L/ha (10 gal/acre).
• The surfactant MERGE^® is required for optimal herbicide activity and is included in the ARES packaging. No additional MERGE is required.

Application tips

• The surfactant MERGE^®  is required for optimal herbicide activity and is included in the ARES packaging. No additional MERGE is required..
• Do not apply if near-freezing temperatures (below 5°C) are forecasted. Weeds will not be actively growing, preventing optimum herbicide performance.
• Apply in a spray volume of 100 L/ha (10 gal/acre)
• For applications on dense weed infestations and thick canopies, use a higher water volume.
• ARES herbicide is rainfast 3 hours after application.
