How it works
- HEAT contains the active ingredient KIXOR™, an innovative pyrimidinedione chemistry with both contact and systemic properties.
- HEAT dramatically improves your glyphosate control by providing the fastest, sharpest and most sustainable control of the toughest broadleaf weeds.
- The uniqueness of HEAT is its mobility within the weed that complements glyphosate, providing superior control including large, tough-to-control weeds.
- Because HEAT also controls glyphosate-resistant and Group 2-resistant bio-types, HEAT is an important part of a resistance-management plan for sustainability in reduced tillage operations.
- HEAT tank-mixed with glyphosate can be applied to fields before cereal or pulse crop.
When to apply
- HEAT provides application flexibility and can be applied pre-seed or pre-emerge (before or after seeding, prior to ground crack).
- Do no apply HEAT if ground break has occurred.
- HEAT can be applied when broadleaf weeds are at or between the cotyledon and 8-leaf stages.
How much to apply
HEAT + glyphosate use rate (360 g/L equivalent) 1.25 – 2.5 L/ha| Crop | HEAT use rate (g/ha) |
| Lentils* | 26 |
| Soybean** | 26 |
| Barley | 26 – 71 |
| Canary seed | 26 – 71 |
| Chickpea Kabuli | 26 – 71 |
| Corn (field, sweet***) | 26 – 71 |
| Oats | 26 – 71 |
| Peas (dried field) | 26 – 71 |
| Wheat (spring, durum, winter) | 26 – 71 |
| Chemfallow | 26 – 71 |
* Rate restrictions apply. Do not use rates higher than 26 g/ha or crop injury may result.
** Rate restrictions apply. Do not use rates higher than 26 g/ha 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.
- For tank mix applications of HEAT with glyphosate, use MERGE® or Amigo® at 0.5 L/ha.
- When using HEAT, always start with a clean sprayer. Thoroughly clean the sprayer by flushing the system with water containing detergent.
- Fill clean spray tank half full with clean water. Start agitation system.
- Using a calibrated measuring device, add the correct amount of HEAT. Continue to agitate.
- For tank mix with glyphosate, add HEAT followed by recommended amount of glyphosate.
- If recommended, add the correct amount of MERGE adjuvant or Amigo to the tank last.
- Continue agitation while filling the remainder of the tank with water necessary to fill the spray tank.
- Continue to agitate or run the by-pass system.
- After any break in spraying operation, agitate thoroughly before spraying again. Check inside the tank to ensure the sprayer agitation is sufficient to re-mix the spray materials. Do not allow the mixture to sit over night.
Application tips
To optimize the broadleaf activity when applying HEAT, follow these guidelines:
- Always add adjuvant (MERGE or Amigo).
- Use a minimum water volume of 5 gal/ac to maximize coverage.
- If weeds are large or densities are high, use a minimum water volume of 10 gal/ac.
- HEAT is extremely rainfast. The rainfast period will be limited by the type of glyphosate used. Follow the glyphosate manufacturer’s recommendation for rainfast guidelines.
