Find Your Fit: Beat Resistant Weeds with Fierce® Herbicides


Targeting yield-robbing weeds with a premium, preemergence herbicide offering multiple effective modes of action ensures competition from weeds such as Palmer amaranth or waterhemp won’t slash soybean yield potential. Effective weed control also is crucial to minimizing potential herbicide resistance. 

“As Mother Nature evolves, managing weed resistance is critical. Growers have been stepping up in their willingness to invest in multiple effective modes of action,” says Joe Short, herbicide strategy team manager for Valent U.S.A. “Managing weed resistance is going be critical now, and in the foreseeable and the long-term future, for agricultural production to be successful,”

Including Fierce® Herbicides in a season-long soybean weed control program is one way to keep resistance at bay.

Fierce Herbicides from Valent U.S.A. offer multiple, effective modes of action to battle resistance development and control of tough broadleaf weeds and grasses, with up to eight weeks of residual activity to ensure weeds stay controlled. Fierce Herbicides also fit well into conservation tillage and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems.

Three distinct formulations, all offering effective control at low use rates, ensure growers will find their Fierce fit, based on their unique agronomic and geographical needs.

“With the Fierce brands, we're looking at six to eight weeks of residual control, whether it be waterhemp or Palmer amaranth,” Short says.

Fierce® EZ Herbicide and Fierce® MTZ Herbicide are both liquid formulations for easy tank mixing and superior control of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp. Fierce MTZ adds a third mode of action for maximum control of marestail , kochia and Russian thistle.

“As you start to get heavy weed pressure, especially with some of your tough to control weeds, Fierce MTZ really shines,” Short says. “It’s worth the investment because you're adding that third effective mode of action and increasing your overall probability for control.”

For growers looking for a dry formulation, Fierce® XLT Herbicide delivers effective control of large seeded broadleaves, such as ragweed and winter annuals.
