Opticut 522

For burndown ahead of soybeans or spot spraying hard-to-kill perennials? Opticut 522 sounds like a game changer. If it delivers on the "15-minute rainfast" promise, it will pay for itself in reduced resprays.

For in-crop grass control in wheat? Stick to a NIS (Non-Ionic Surfactant). You don’t need a sledgehammer to hang a picture.

Bottom Line: Keep an eye on the local university trials this summer. If the data shows a 15-20% increase in control on waterhemp or marestail, 522 might just become the new standard in your tank.
