What is it > Overview
 

Atrazine - Celebrating 50 YearsLexar® 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. Lexar 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, Lexar widens the window for a post-emergence application a Touchdown® brand herbicide if needed.

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 is 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.
