Welcome to the Corvus Zone.

Corvus® pre-emergence herbicide is the ONLY herbicide to offer burndown, residual and reactivation for consistent performance all season long.

Burndown takes out early weeds. Residual prevents new weeds. Reactivation with rain gets late weeds.

Controls more than 65 weeds, including glyphosate-, ALS-, PPO- and triazine-resistant weeds

Excellent resistance management tool Ultra low use rate CSI™ Safener technology allows for flexible use and

outstanding crop safety

Consistent Control

Consistent control under varying weather conditions whether applied at burndown, pre-emergence or early postemergence (through V2).

Any soil type Previously applied at V2 Season-long weed control

Reactivation with Rain

Goes to work quickly and controls weeds through canopy, whether conditions turn wet or even hot and dry.

Just a half inch of rain reactivates Corvus.

Welcome to the Corvus Zone.


Corvus vs. Competitive Herbicides Corvus provides many advantages that the competition cannot, including:

vs. Lumax®/Lexar®, Corvus:

• Reactivates with rain

• Provides stronger burndown on grasses

• Has longer, stronger residual

• Utilizes low use rate technology vs. Verdict®, Corvus:

• Offers a wider window of application

• Provides better crop safety

• Reactivates with rain

• Provides superior control of broadleaf weeds and grasses

• Has longer, stronger residual vs. SureStart®/TripleFLEX®, Corvus:

Assists in resistance management Reactivates with rain Provides stronger burndown on grasses Utilizes low use rate technology


Broad-Spectrum Control

Controls a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, including giant ragweed and morningglory, that may be missed or only partially controlled by Lumax, Lexar, Verdict, SureStart or TripleFLEX.


Controls a broad spectrum of grass weeds, including woolly cupgrass, shattercane and foxtail, that may be missed or only partially controlled by Lumax, Lexar, Verdict, SureStart or TripleFLEX.

Waterhemp and Palmer Amaranth Management

Most grass and broadleaf weeds are controlled with just one application of Corvus at 5.6 fl oz/A.

Weeds such as waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, however, are simply difficult to control, regardless of whether or not they are resistant to glyphosate.

These specific weeds have characteristics which allow them to germinate over the entire growing season, grow rapidly and produce a large amount of seed.

When waterhemp or Palmer amaranth are present, Corvus is the best two-pass option on the market and is recommended as a foundation herbicide in a planned two-pass herbicide program.


Resistance Management Tool

Dual modes of action help manage and prevent the development of resistance:

HPPD Inhibitor (commonly known as a bleacher) Inhibits 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in plants HPPD is key to production of protective pigments and development of

chloroplasts in plants By inhibiting this development, emerging plant tissue is bleached (white to

pale yellow) ALS Inhibitor

Inhibits acetolactate synthase enzyme Prevents production of three essential branch-chain amino acids These amino acids are building blocks for a plant’s normal growth and

development

Provides four modes of action when tankmixed with glyphosate and atrazine to kill resistant weeds.


Resistance Management Tool

Corvus integrates easily into an overall pest and weed management strategy which helps:

Manage resistant and tolerant weed populations Maintain the viability of other herbicide programs

Employ practices known to limit weed development and herbicide use (tillage, scouting and proper application timing) whenever possible.

Always use the full labeled rates as shown on the label.


Respect the Rotation™

Rotating herbicide mode of action (MOA) is essential to improving weed resistance management and helps you Respect the Rotation™.

1.Rotate mode of action and/or use multiple MOAs to reduce the selection pressure caused by overusing a single MOA.

2.Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits.

3.Rotate crops.


Ultra Low Use RateUltra low use rates (ULUR) provide time and costs savings

Apply at ounces per acre vs. pints or quarts per acre Less shipping, easier storage and handling, and fewer jugs An average retailer (servicing 30,000 corn acres) can save up to $50,000 by switching

from bulk to ULUR products


Outstanding Crop Safety

Crop Safety Innovation (CSI) Safener technology: Changes the capacity of the plant to withstand herbicidal activity, which may lead to increased root and plant healthAllows Corvus to be used on any soil, enabling greater crop compatibility

•Has both soil and foliar uptake, making the safener active in pre and early post applications

•Exclusive Bayer technology


Corvus 5.6 fl oz/A + 1 qt/A atrazine on sandy soil

Outstanding Crop Safety


Flexibility

Available for use in field corn, corn grown for silage, and corn grown for seed.

Use in a wide variety of timing and tillage programs: Conventional Conservation tillage No-till crop management systems Postharvest noncrop Preplant

Pre-plant incorporated (less than 2 inches deep)

Pre-emergence Early postemergence through the 2-leaf

collar (V2) growth stage


Flexibility

Use in an integrated weed control program with: Liberty® herbicide on LibertyLink® hybrids Glyphosate on Roundup Ready® hybrids

A strong tankmix partner for a number of herbicides, most importantly, atrazine.

The addition of atrazine can improve spectrum and consistency of weed control

See label for full listing of compatible herbicides and usage rates.

Specific Use Directions


Adjuvants - Burndown

When weeds are present at time of treatment and prior to corn emergence, tankmix Corvus with COC or MSO for burndown of labeled weeds 6 inches or less in height.

When weeds are greater than 6 inches in height or weeds not controlled by Corvus are present, the addition of a nonselective herbicide is recommended.

Glyphosate, paraquat, 2,4-D


Adjuvants - Post

Corvus is available for application to corn in a tankmix with atrazine from spiking through the 2-leaf collar (V2) growth stage.

Do not use COC or MSO with Corvus herbicide applied to emerged field corn.

Tankmixes with other herbicides or adjuvants are not recommended for early postemergence applications of Corvus herbicide as crop response symptoms, including bleaching, leaf-edge necrosis and stunting, may result.


Summary

Corvus herbicide is the ONLY herbicide to offer burndown, residual and reactivation providing consistent weed control under varying weather conditions.

Corvus offers uncompromised weed control all season long at 5.6 fl oz/A, whether conditions turn wet or hot and dry.

Two modes of action to control glyphosate-, PPO- and triazine-resistant weeds, with outstanding crop safety.

With its rapid burndown of weeds, Corvus is perfect for any tillage program, including no-till and minimum-till.
