TENSILE

• Think of the weeds that really destroy your canola yields. Chances are good that TENSILE herbicide can rid them from your fields.
• TENSILE delivers superior wild buckwheat control compared to glyphosate. It even provides suppression of Canada thistle and sow thistle.

• TENSILE herbicide should be applied from the 2 - 6 leaf stage of CLEARFIELD canola development and after weeds have emerged.
• To control broadleaf weeds, apply TENSILE from the cotyledon to the 4-leaf stage of weed development. To control grasses, apply TENSILE when the weeds are between the 1 and 4 true leaf stages, until early tillering.

• One case of TENSILE herbicide treats 40 acres and should be applied in a minimum water volume of 100 L/ha (40 L/ac).
• As with most contact herbicides, TENSILE requires higher water volumes for optimal control.
• MERGE® adjuvant is included in the case and should be mixed in at a rate of 0.5% v/v.

• TENSILE should be applied early to maximize yield.
• To optimize herbicide performance, apply TENSILE in warm weather to actively growing weeds.
• Do not apply TENSILE if freezing temperatures are forecast or immediately after a frost or unseasonably cold weather.
• Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance because the weeds are not actively growing.

Please note: Use on CLEARFIELD XCEED canola will cause crop injury

Which CLEARFIELD canola growers will be most interested in using TENSILE?
TENSILE is the perfect weed-control solution for CLEARFIELD canola growers who have wild buckwheat issues or who are looking for flexibility in terms of follow-crop options.

How well does TENSILE perform?
During the 2008 growing season, there were 40 field trials conducted by growers as part of the GrowForward™ Yield Challenge

Does low residual activity have a negative impact on weed control?
No. TENSILE is a post-emergent herbicide that is designed to control a wide spectrum of grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds. Registered across all soil zones, TENSILE provides a new opportunity for growers to have broad-spectrum weed control, including control of wild buckwheat, and follow-crop flexibility.

Can TENSILE be used in any soil zone?
Yes, TENSILE can be used across all soil zones.
