It looks like a good season is ahead for rice, as acres are expected to be up. To get growers ready, FMC is offering producers $1.25 per acre in incentives to use Obey herbicide from FMC. At the Mid-South Farm & Gin Show in Memphis, Tennessee, Don Johnson with FMC explained to Chuck that the incentive would apply for either preplanting or postemergence.
“Command [from FMC] is also a complimentary product that can used in a sequential application either pre- or post. So growers need to be aware they can get the full amount of clomazone (from Obey and Command) out there this year,” he said, adding that the addition of more Command will help manage resistant barnyard grass out in the fields.
The rebate rate is based on 28 ounces per acre. Retail market managers have more details.
In addition, FMC is offering reduced prices for Aim for post-application control of broadleafs.
