Asparagus fern

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Command 360 ME herbicide for control of labeled weeds on asparagus grown in Canada. Command 360 ME herbicide was already labeled for use on a number of crops in Canada for control of several weeds.

This minor use project was submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel. 

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making weed management decisions within a robust integrated weed management program and should consult the complete label before using Command 360 ME herbicide.

Command 360 ME herbicide is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants.  Do not apply this product or allow drift to other crops or non-target areas. Do not contaminate off-target areas or aquatic habitats when spraying or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment or containers.

Follow all other precautions, restrictions and directions for use on the Command 360 ME herbicide label carefully.
