Task 64

Advanced Weed Management for Maize Crops

Achieving a clean maize field is a challenge that requires precision tools. Task 64, a hallmark herbicide developed by DuPont, has solidified its position in the market as a robust solution for farmers dealing with aggressive weeds. By combining the strengths of Dicamba and Rimsulfuron, this formulation offers a dual-action defense that targets weeds systemically.

This selective herbicide is designed for post-emergence application, making it an essential component of modern crop protection strategies. Its systemic nature ensures that the active ingredients travel through the plant tissues to provide long-lasting control, while the soil-residual activity helps prevent subsequent flushes of weeds, giving your maize the head start it needs.

Key Advantages of Task 64

• Proven Efficacy: Task 64 is highly effective against persistent perennial weeds such as Quackgrass (Elymus repens), Creeping Thistle (Cirsium arvense), and Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense). It also excels in controlling broad-leaved and annual grass weeds like Pigweed (Amaranthus) and Barnyard Grass.
• Dual Mode of Action: It functions as both a foliar-applied herbicide (killing existing weeds) and a soil-applied herbicide (providing residual protection), which maximizes the value of each application.
• Easy Handling: The water-dispersible granule formulation ensures easy mixing and clean operation, which is critical for large-scale agricultural use.

With a maximum application rate of 0.5 l/ha, Task 64 provides a cost-effective way to protect yields. The short pre-harvest interval of just 1 day adds significant flexibility to crop management. Whether you are dealing with early-season competition or late-emerging stubborn weeds, the DuPont Task 64 remains a reliable choice for professional growers who value consistency and performance in their maize protection programs.
