Only AMIBEN can offer you gff (TOTAL WEED CONTROL) AMIBEN™ preemergence weedkiller killed grass for more soybean farmers than any other herbicide in 1969. And, it also was the first choice for broadleaf weeds by a wide margin. This all-in-one, double action, Total Weed Control gives farmers with good management a truly outstanding tool. They can depend upon Amiben as the best way to cancel out grass and weeds as a limiting factor when it comes either to growing the beans, or harvesting the crop. Does it make sense to buy a half-action grass herbicide? One that • lets big weeds through (and yes, even some grasses) but costs a little less, or puts you through the work of soil incorporation? There are several such limited control products on the market. But farmers can easily end up looking at a hefty stand of weeds that “escaped because of limited capability of the herbicide. Weed control to be profitable to the farmer should keep everything out but the beans, and do it with ease of use and safety to the crop. Only Amiben makes this a realistic goal. Note Neither AMIBEN nor any other preemergence soybean herbicide kills cocklebur germinating below the treated wil layer, nor morn<ng-glory. nor perennial weeds. AMIBEN is a Trade Mark of Amchem Products/tnc. nmCHEm First name in herbicide research AMCHEM PRODUCTS, INC., AMBLER, PENNSYLVANIA
