What is it > Overview
Lexar® corn herbicide has been rapidly adopted by growers and retailers across the Central and Southern Corn Belts because of its proven performance, excellent crop safety, long-lasting residual control and unmatched flexibility that protects yield potential all season long. It provides optimized control of the most troublesome weeds in corn, including waterhemp, and improved control of morningglories, cocklebur, sunflowers and ragweeds. The season-long weed management of Lexar makes it an excellent fit for both conventional and glyphosate-tolerant (GT) corn acres.
Proven Performance
Lexar manages some of the toughest grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn including waterhemp and offers improved control of morningglories, cocklebur, sunflower and ragweeds. Lexar employs three modes of action to help manage against weed biotypes tolerant or resistant to glyphosate, ALS-inhibiting and triazine herbicides, making it a true Resistance Fighter™ brand.
Excellent Crop Safety
Crop injury can negatively impact yield, so it’s important to choose a herbicide that not only controls weeds, but also has excellent crop safety. Lexar utilizes the proven corn safener, benoxacor, to ensure crop safety even in adverse weather conditions.
Yield Protection Power
Early-season weed control is absolutely critical to achieving full yield potential. Lexar offers unprecedented broadleaf weed and grass control that keeps fields clean early in the season. And, its high-performance residual activity manages weeds through crop canopy.
Long-Lasting Residual Control
Weed emergence patterns change from year to year, and some weeds exhibit continuous emergence throughout the growing season. Lexar delivers long-lasting residual control for six weeks or more, which makes it a perfect fit for use in both conventional and glyphosate-tolerant corn.
Lexar, which is powered by the Callisto® chemistry, owes its origins to the discovery of a natural herbicide secreted by the Callistemon plant. Powered by Callisto Plant Technology®, Lexar herbicide sets itself apart from the competition with unprecedented broadleaf weed control and exceptional crop safety.
