Assert Sweatheart Sale: Using Valentine's Day To Sell Herbicide(?), Now I Have Seen It All

Nufarm Agriculture Inc. is having a sale on Assert. Like the sign says $65 per case off if you make a move by Feb 21, 2007

My two cents worth:

THE GOOD: Assert is actually a pretty good product. Very easy on the crop. (which is nice for barley growers) It provides a change from Group One wild oat products. If you can put it on early you can get the cost down to $14 per acre ( good for a full rate wild oat chemical) As a bonus by itself it is active on Mustard, wild buckwheat and stinkweed.

THE BAD: Assert is kind of limited with tank mixes. As soon as you add a tankmix you have to incease rates. ($14 per acre to $17 per acre). You have to apply before wild oats are 4 leaf or control really drops off. Unlike most wild oat products Assert has zero activity on green foxtail.

Assert does have it's place. If you are planning to use any give you dealer a call.
