Why Spray Early?


Farmers from all over the country are talking about the excellent results they've had from spraying early. By applying XtendiMax herbicide at or before planting, you'll be able to control 335+ weed species when used with XtendFlex soybeans.* Additionally, spraying early may reduce the need for future herbicide applications later in the year.


Don't just take our word for it. Hear from Illinois farmer Cory Utterback on his results with spraying early.
