      Testimonials

      Andy Perkins standing in field treated with pre emergent herbicide.

      "We have Palmer pigweed on our farm, and Prefix herbicide has been working really well on our soybeans, where we have sensitive acres and we can’t spray dicamba."

      Timothy Bennet standing in field treated with pre emergent herbicide.

      "Prefix herbicide is a mix of fomesafen and Dual II Magnum® herbicide. The Dual II Magnum gives you a good residual on waterhemp later in the season. The fomesafen gives you a bit of residual, but also helps with the killing of waterhemp."

      Calvin Seitz standing in field treated with soybean herbicide.

      "I highly suggest putting Prefix herbicide with dicamba on soybeans, because it gives you another site of action to knock out some of the hard-to-control broadleaf weeds."
