  • In most situations, growers can now rotate to sugarbeets and certain dry beans 10 months after Laudis application. The previous rotation requirement was 18 months.
  • EPA approved the use of high surfactant oil concentrates (HSOC) with Laudis as alternatives to traditional methylated seed oil (MSO) surfactants. The label update also includes guidelines for using HSOCs with glyphosate herbicides.
  • If growers need to make a second application of Laudis on field corn, white corn, or popcorn, the applications can now be made seven days apart. The previous requirement was a 14-day waiting period.

Iintroduced in 2008, Laudis has become a proven performer against grass and broadleaf weeds such as ragweeds, lambsquarters, velvetleaf, waterhemp, and woolly cupgrass in corn fields, according to Bayer CropScience. The success of Laudis is due in part to its proprietary safener technology, meaning Laudis ensures crop safety while providing consistent weed control.
