Posted 20 February 2011. Crop Management. New DuPont Realm Q Herbicide Delivers Powerful Postemergence Broadleaf Weed Control in Corn Source: DuPont Crop Protection Press Release. www2.dupont.com/Production_Agriculture Wilmington, Delaware (February 9, 2011)--Corn growers looking for longer-lasting control of hard-to-manage broadleaf weeds and grasses now have a new tool. DuPont™ Realm™ Q herbicide has received federal registration approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for postemergence use on corn. “Realm™ Q delivers more control under more conditions, making it an excellent choice for managing weeds that reduce yield and profitability,” said John Chrosniak, regional director, North America – DuPont Crop Protection. “This is another example of how DuPont is developing products to meet growers’ changing needs, including the increasingly important need to manage weed resistance.” Realm™ Q gives growers more control of their weed programs by delivering contact plus residual control and multiple modes of action to manage both glyphosate- and ALS-resistant weeds. Applied early postemergence, Realm™ Q tackles the weeds that are already in the field on contact, then keeps working to conquer later-emerging weeds, including waterhemp. As the newest member of the DuPont™ Q Product Formulations portfolio, Realm™ Q includes built-in safener technology, so corn growers can apply it under more diverse weather conditions, across more hybrids and with a wider range of adjuvants. Realm™ Q is available in a convenient dry formulation for easy mixing and application. Effective at low use rates, Realm™ Q is applied at only 4 ounces per acre. Realm™ Q is available with grower financing through the TruChoice® Opportunity Program plus other purchase incentives that will allow a grower to earn up to an 8 percent incentive on all DuPont Crop Protection product purchases.
