Command 3ME Fact Sheet - FMC Agricultural Solutions
COMMAND 360 ME OFFERS CONTROL OF KEY GRASSES AND BROADLEAF WEEDS IN SWEET POTATOES, SOYBEANS AND CURCURBITS. Command® 360 ME herbicide
provides outstanding control of grasses and select broadleaf weeds. It is applied as a preemergence soil-applied treatment in soybeans and curcurbits and post-transplant in sweet potatoes. It can be tank mixed with other labeled herbicides to broaden the spectrum of control. Command 360 ME offers cropping convenience, as it is compatible with conventional tillage, reduced tillage and no-till practices.
Unique Microencapsulation Formula Command 360 ME also utilizes an advanced microencapsulation formula. This helps to protect the integrity of the herbicide from environmental factors known to negatively impact herbicide movement and performance.
Spectrum of Activity
• Command 360 ME is in the group 13 herbicide category that provides control of a number of tough weeds • Broadleaf weeds controlled: velvetleaf, Eastern black nightshade • Grasses controlled: barnyardgrass, green foxtail, yellow foxtail • Weeds suppressed: common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed and common ragweed
Mode of Action
• Inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate in the isoprenoid pathway blocking synthesis of various pigments such as carotenoids
• Susceptible weed species may emerge from the soil, but are devoid of pigmentation. Plant death occurs in a short period of time.
Registered Crops
• Field sweet potatoes (Eastern Canada) • Field cucumbers • Squash • Melon • Processing pumpkins • Soybeans
Physical and Chemical Properties
• Physical Form: 360 g/L microencapsulated formulation • Freezing Properties: Store above -5° C to keep product from freezing. If frozen, thaw before use. • Technical Melting Point: 25° C • Technical solubility (water): 1100 ppm at 25° C
Tank-Mix Guidelines When applying mixtures of Command 360 ME with other herbicides, observe all label precautions, limitations, rotational guidelines and replanting instructions on the tank mix herbicide labels. Always do a jar test before mixing any products together to confirm compatibility.
Application Guidelines
• Do not apply more than one application per season • Do not apply by air – use ground equipment only • Failure to properly apply Command 360 ME as per the directions on the product label may result in off-target movement
Spray Drift Migration Measures As with all products, please follow label directions to minimize the risk of spray drift.
• Do not exceed 207 kPa or 30 psi spray pressure. • Select an operating pressure and volume that meet a droplet size classification of coarse or greater • Use low-drift nozzles that do not produce fine and medium droplets (200-300 VMD range); utilize spray droplet guidelines for selection of proper spray tips • Do not apply when winds are gusty or in excess of 16 km/hr • Minimize sprayer boom height while maintaining a uniform spray pattern • Apply during calmer periods of the day (e.g., early morning or late in day) • Do not apply during a temperature inversion • Follow label guidelines for buffer zones
Usage Rates
• Light soil texture (sand, sandy loam, loamy sand): 3.83 L/A • Medium soil texture (loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay loam): 4.82 L/A • Heavy soil texture (silty clay, clay loam, clay): 5.81 L/A
Package Size
• 2 x 9.46 litre jug cases
