Weeds no match for Nanoboost!

We’re in the middle of glyphosate-resistant marestail country and resistant giant ragweeds, common ragweeds, pigweeds and others are rapidly becoming just as prevalent. We introduced our farmers to Monty’s Nanoboost a few years ago as an aid in trying to get better control of marestail during post-emergent applications of glyphosate.

We’ve used 2 ounces per acre as our standard rate to try to get more herbicide into the weeds, especially the weeds of known-resistance and the weeds that are larger than the label guidelines call for.

Last year, we sold enough to cover over 18,000 post-applied acres and most everyone that used it is still using it. This is the first year we’ve sold much for burn-down applications and we’ve already sold enough to cover over 7,000 acres. It’s not a “silver bullet”, but we do see quicker results from the herbicide applications and have noticed a “deader dead”, if that’s appropriate terminology, where we’ve used it versus where we haven’t.

Farmer’s are not prone to continue to use a product at any cost if they’re not seeing results. I’m not aware of any of our farmers that have used Nanoboost that have decided not to use it again and most have told their neighbors about the product. I think that’s endorsement enough that the product works.
