Herbicide Group
15 – dimethanamid
(Refer to page 44)
Company:

Formulation:
720 g/L dimethanamid-P formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate.
• Container size - 3 L to 1000 L
Crops and Staging:
Pre-plant incorporated:
• Corn (NOT sweet corn, popcorn, or corn grown for seed).
• Dry beans (navy and kidney beans only).
Pre-emergence surface:
• Dry beans (navy and kidney beans only).
Weed Control
Weeds and Staging:
Pre-emergent control of green foxtail.
Rates:
Pre-plant incorporated treatments:
• Apply at 0.35 to 0.39 L per acre. Apply at the higher rate on fine-textured or high organic soils and for heavier
anticipated weed problems.
Pre-emergence surface treatments:
Soil Type (Texture)
Rate (L per Acre)
Less than 3% Organic Matter 3 to 6% Organic Matter 7 to 10% Organic Matter
Coarse 0.31 0.31 0.35
Medium and Fine 0.31 0.35 0.39
Application Information:
• Water Volume: A minimum of 40 L per acre.
• Pressure: 30 to 43 psi (200 to 300 kPa).
• Nozzles: Flat fan or flood-jet. Low drift nozzles may require higher pressures for proper performance. Use a
combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage of ASABE medium droplets.
• Screens: Use 16 mesh suction screen, 50 mesh elsewhere on sprayer.
• Incorporation: For pre-plant incorporated treatments, apply Frontier Max as a broadcast treatment and incorporate
using a harrow, rolling cultivator or other implement capable of giving uniform, shallow incorporation into the top 5
cm (2 inches) of soil within 7 days of planting. Avoid deeper incorporation or reduced weed control and/or crop injury
may result. Immediate incorporation after application is not necessary.
º Beans must be planted at least 4 cm (1.5 inches) deep or crop injury may occur.
How it Works:
Refer to Table 9 on page 48.
Effects of Growing Conditions:
Rainfall is required within 7 to 10 days of application to activate and move Frontier Max into the soil zone. If dry conditions
persist, a shallow cultivation or the use of a rotary hoe is necessary to move the herbicide into moist soil and control weed
