What is it > Overview
 

Atrazine - Celebrating 50 YearsLumax® herbicide is a pre-emergence weed control solution in corn, which offers proven performance, excellent crop safety, long-lasting residual control and unmatched flexibility that protects yield all season long. Lumax is an excellent fit for both conventional and glyphosate-tolerant corn acres. Lumax is the best opportunity for a one-pass program when applied pre-emergence at a full rate in glyphosate-tolerant corn. For growers planning a two-pass program, Lumax widens the window for a post-emergence application a Touchdown® brand herbicide if needed.

Proven Performance Lumax provides high-performance, broad-spectrum control of the toughest grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn including waterhemp, velvetleaf, lambsquarters and pigweeds. A Resistance Fighter™ brand, Lumax employs three modes of action, which help manage against weed biotypes resistant or tolerant to glyphosate, ALS-inhibiting and triazine herbicides.

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. Lumax 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. Lumax 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. Lumax 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.

Lumax, which is powered by the Callisto® chemistry, owes its origins to the discovery of a natural herbicide secreted by the Callistemon plant. This is Callisto Plant Technology® and it brings unprecedented broadleaf weed control and exceptional crop safety to Lumax that the competition cannot match.
