■ Manufacturer: Syngenta Crop Protection
Brand Name: Lumax and Lexar (Label Change—In first quarter 2009, Lumax and Lexar herbicides are expected to receive EPA registration for use in grain sorghum in all states where each brand is currently registered. For the state of Texas, Lumax and Lexar will only be registered for areas north of Interstate 20 (I-20) or west of Highway 277.)
Active Ingredient: Mesotirone, S-metolachlor, atrazine
Crop Designation: Other—grain sorghum.
Application Practice: Pre-plant non-incorporated (up to 21 days prior to planting) up through pre-emergence on Concep-treated grain sorghum.
Application Rate: Lumax 2.5 qts./A; Lexar 3.0 qts./A.
Lumax and Lexar Herbicides, two top herbicide choices for exceptional weed control and crop safety in corn, are expected to receive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registration in first quarter 2009 for use in Concep-treated grain sorghum in all states where each brand is currently registered (except south of I-20 or east of Highway 277 in Texas). Currently, Lumax herbicide is registered for use in grain sorghum only in Kansas and Nebraska and Lexar is not registered for use in grain sorghum.
Using Lumax or Lexar will provide these key benefits for grain sorghum producers:
1. Protection of grain sorghum yield potential.
2. Control of weeds before they emerge.
3. Residual, broad-spectrum control of grass and broadleaf weeds (particularly critical weed species in grain sorghum such as waterhemp and Palmer amaranth).
4. Three modes of action including mesotrione, the foundation of Callisto Plant Technology.
5. Control of weeds resistant to glyphosate, ALS-inhibiting and triazine herbicides.

Active Ingredient: Napropamide
Crop Designation: Citrus, Trees, Nuts and Vines—pistachio, walnut, grapefruit, lemon, orange, tangerine, tangelo, nectarine, apricot, cherry, peach, plum, prune, pear, apple, fig, avacado, pomegranate, artichoke, olive.
Application Rate: See label.
Change: Crops cancelled under re-registration. Single word change: Formerly "Danger" has been changed to "Caution".
■ Manufacturer: Valent
Brand Name: Chateau Herbicide (Label Change—Chemigation use label for Chateau Herbicide in potatoes and Chateau is now registered for use in alfalfa, asparagus, highbush blueberries, dry beans, garlic, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts and numerous other tree nuts in California and many other states. New York registration pending.)
Active Ingredient: Flumioxazin
Crop Designation: Forage; Vegetables—asparagus, potatoes; Citrus, Trees, Nuts and Vines—highbush blueberries, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts and numerous other tree nuts; Other—dry beans, garlic.
Application Practice: Pre-emerge.
Application Rate: Chateau should be applied at 1.5 ounces per acre on potatoes, after planting and before crop emergence when the growing tip is at least three inches below the soil surface. Varies for other crops. See label.
Adding to Chateau's reputation as an excellent herbicide that also allows rotational flexibility, the new chemigation label in potatoes will mean greater application flexibility for potato growers who may choose to apply Chateau via ground, air or center pivot irrigation.
Additionally, chemigation will mean immediate activation and incorporation of Chateau into the soil for a more streamlined treatment process and fewer trips across the fields for resource-stressed growers. Chateau has provided long-lasting and consistent pre-emergence residual protection against tough weeds, including yield-robbing annual nightshades.
The pre-emerge herbicide is widely known for long-lasting broad spectrum control of more than 90 annual weeds, including tough-to-control weeds such as morningglories, nightshades, pigweeds, lambsquarters, mallow/cheeseweed, marestail, fleabane, smallflower morningglory, cutleaf eveningprimrose, swinecress, henbit, chickweed and annual grasses.
■ Manufacturer: Valent
Brand Name: Cobra Herbicide (Label Change— Cobra's pre-harvest interval (PHI) for peanuts is reduced from 90 days to 45 days (except NY).)
Active Ingredient: Lactofen
Crop Designation: Peanuts.
Application Practice: Post-emerge.
Application Rate: 12.5 fl oz per acre may be made to control emerged broadleaf weeds. Apply after the peanuts have at least six true leaves.
Cobra's pre-harvest interval (PHI) for peanuts is reduced from 90 days to 45 days, which is especially important to peanut farmers with Palmer pigweed problems. The reduced PHI for Cobra gives peanut farmers better application flexibility to combat emerged Palmer pigweed and because Cobra has a different mode of action, it is an outstanding resistance management tool for peanut farmers with ALS- or glyphosate-resistant pigweed. In addition to Palmer pigweed, Cobra controls a broad spectrum of weeds such as Florida pusley, copperleaf, eclipta, morningglories, nightshades, prickly sida, ragweeds, spurges, tropic croton and wild poinsettia. Even with the shorter PHI, peanut farmers can still use Cobra without worrying about carryover into a rotated crop.
■ Manufacturer: Valent
Brand Name: Select Max Herbicide with Inside Technology (Label Change—Now labeled to control volunteer corn, including volunteer Roundup Ready corn, prior to planting)
Active Ingredient: Clethodim
Crop Designation: Corn.
Application Practice: Post-emerge.
Application Rate: at 6 oz. per acre to 12-inch or smaller corn, applied no sooner than six days before planting.
Select Max's new label can help farmers control the remnants of that first corn crop in preparation for a replant. Select Max provides fast, effective control of volunteer corn, including volunteer Roundup Ready corn, and allows farmers to replant the corn crop in just six days.

Brand Name: Valor Herbicide (Label Change—Now labeled for use in corn prior to planting)
Active Ingredient: Flumioxazin
Crop Designation: Corn.
Application Practice: Preplant.
Application Rate: 2 ounces of Valor with atrazine 14 days prior to planting followed by an in-season application of Roundup or 2 ounces of Valor 14 days prior to planting followed by a post-emergence application of atrazine with Roundup.
A well-known residual product in soybeans, peanuts and cotton, Valor can now be used 14 days prior to planting in no-till or minimal-till field corn. It is the first PPO (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) herbicide for field corn and a new mode of action for farmers to use when controlling tough weeds. Valor controls tough broadleaf weeds such as common ragweed, lambsquarters, marestail, Palmer pigweed and waterhemp and has excellent rotational flexibility. A farmer can plant corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, soybeans or wheat after a preplant Valor application if they follow the basic plant back restrictions.
■ Manufacturer: Valent
Brand Name: Valor Herbicide (Label Change— Now labeled for use in corn prior to planting)
Active Ingredient: Flumioxazin
Crop Designation: Other—dry beans (dessication).
Application Practice: For dessication prior to harvest.
Application Rate: 2 ounces of Valor per acre during a single application. Do not harvest within five days of application.
Valor's complete desiccation of dry bean leaves and stems is a huge benefit to farmers providing a clean and affective harvest. Additionally, Valor has a low use rate, so there is less product to handle. It is not a restricted use product and offers greater handler safety than other desiccants. Valor works under a wide range of environmental conditions, including colder temperatures in early Fall.
