Potatoes — Early Seeded
Controlling winter annual weeds in the cold weather of
early spring can be difficult. Applying DuPont™ Matrix®
herbicide in the fall is a good strategy to bolster earlyseason potato plantings.

Rate recommendation
Matrix® SG 1.0 oz/A
+ COC 1% v/v
When to apply
Any time after harvest, but before ground freeze-up.
Reliable control on tough weeds, such as chickweed,
henbit, common purslane, redroot pigweed and
quackgrass*.
Follow with a sound weed control program
in the spring
Preventing weed cover gives your fields the potential to
be planted earlier, because weed-free soils dry out and
warm up faster.
