Frequently asked questions
What is Corsican Herbicide?
Corsican Herbicide is a selective residual preemergence herbicide for controlling most annual grass weeds, annual broadleaf weeds, and sedges. It provides contact burndown of many broadleaf weeds when applied with an adjuvant. It is a non-HPPD herbicide that helps stop HPPD-resistant weeds.
What are the active ingredients in Corsican Herbicide?
Corsican Herbicide contains two active ingredients: Saflufenacil and Dimethenamid-P.
What crops can Corsican Herbicide be applied to?
Corsican Herbicide is labeled for use on Field Corn (Grain, Seed, Silage), Popcorn, Processing Sweet corn, Grain Sorghum, and Soybeans. Always consult the label for specific varieties and restrictions.
What weeds does Corsican Herbicide control?
Corsican Herbicide provides residual preemergence control or suppression of various annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges. It also provides burndown control of broadleaf weeds. For postemergence (burndown) control, apply before weeds exceed the listed maximum sizes. Use tank mixes for broader spectrum or larger weeds. Key weeds include:

When and how should Corsican Herbicide be applied?
Corsican Herbicide can be applied preplant (burndown) and preemergence. Rates vary by soil texture and organic matter. See label for specific rate guidance. For burndown, add MSO. Do not apply through irrigation systems. Follow crop-specific timings and tank mix with other herbicides for full spectrum control.
