+ Control varies depending on size of weed at application: the smaller the weed, the better the control.
1 Group numbers are assigned by the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) according to different modes of action. Although weeds may exhibit multiple resistance across many groups, mode-of-action numbers are useful in planning mixtures or rotations of herbicides with different modes of action.
2 Resistance is known to occur.
