The bulk of the weed control workload in potatoes is carried out using residual chemistry applied to ridges shortly after planting. Craig Chisholm, Corteva’s field technical manager for potatoes, said: “There are three main reasons why weed control is important in potatoes. Titus is a sulfonylurea herbicide containing rimsulfuron for control of broad-leaved weeds in potatoes. Applied in mixture with metribuzin, it provides the most comprehensive post-emergence weed spectrum. Craig said: “The qualities of Titus are well known to potato growers and agronomists in an environment where there are relatively few tools to do an important spring job.”
