Manitoba only. DO NOT use on sweet corn.
Pre-emergent: apply to soil surface after planting but before weeds and corn emerge. Rain is required within 10 days of
application or a shallow cultivation or use of a rotary hoe is required.
Post-emergent: apply up to the 3-leaf stage (2 visible collars or 20 cm in height – leaf extended). Corn hybrid sensitivity to
post-emergent applications of Battalion have been observed in the field with varieties rated less than 2500 CHU in regions
with less than 2500 CHU. Check with seed supplier prior to applying Battalion to ensure the hybrid has known tolerance to
Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides.
* NOTE - Since applications to corn in the Red River Valley region of Manitoba has been registered under the User Requested
Minor Use program, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for herbicide performance or crop safety. Application to
