Why choosing DISTINCT makes sense
What DISTINCT controls
For chemfallow and post-harvest applications,
DISTINCT® herbicide tank-mixed with Roundup®
provides superior control of tough perennial and
annual weeds such as Dandelion and Kochia.
The unique chemistry of DISTINCT is an effective
alternative to Group 2 active ingredients and provides
an important part of a resistance management
plan. DISTINCT completes your post-harvest plan,
providing clean fields for success the following year.
Tank-mixed with Roundup, DISTINCT herbicide
complements control of all weeds on the Roundup
label, including the following problem weeds:
Dandelion†
Narrow leaved hawks beard†
Canada thistle†
Flixweed
Kochia
Round leaved mallow
Russian thistle
Cleavers
Sow thistle
Winter annuals
Wild buckwheat
DISTINCT delivers:
Broader weed spectrum than Roundup alone,
with a higher level of control on larger weeds.
An effective part of a weed resistance
management plan.
Non-Group 2 chemistry with unmatched
follow-crop options for maximum rotational flexibility.

Control with fall applications (Sept – Oct), supression in
spring/summer applications (May – Aug)

How DISTINCT works
The Group 4 and Group 19 combination in DISTINCT
controls tough to control problem weeds. The active
ingredients work together to disrupt the plant’s natural
growth hormones, causing an imbalance to effectively
control weeds.

How much to apply
DISTINCT herbicide plus Roundup® can be applied in
fallow crop lands and as a post-harvest treatment for
control of broadleaf weeds at the following rates:
Tank-mix rates
DISTINCT Application Date*
Follow Crops
Prior to September 1
Chickpea
Field peas
Flax
Sunflower
Prior to October 1
Canola
Lentils
Soybeans
Prior to October 15
Barley

Oats
Wheat
*DISTINCT applied at 40 acres/jug. If higher rates are used after
Sept 1, rotate to cereal crops only.
