**Kyro™ Herbicide**
Kyro™ Herbicide, developed by Corteva Agriscience (EPA Registration Number: 62719-766), is a novel postemergence solution designed to provide robust control of over 65 challenging broadleaf and grass weeds in corn. This innovative premix combines three effective modes of action—acetochlor (Group 15), clopyralid (Group 4), and topramezone (Group 27)—offering both contact and residual weed control.
**Key Features:**
- **Triple-Action Formulation:** Kyro is the first herbicide to integrate acetochlor, clopyralid, and topramezone into a single premix, delivering comprehensive control of tough weeds such as waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, marestail, barnyard grass, fall panicum, and woolly cupgrass.
- **Flexible Application Timing:** Suitable for postemergence application on corn up to 24 inches tall, Kyro provides flexibility to fit various management programs. It is approved for use on multiple corn types, including glyphosate-tolerant, non-GMO, seed, and popcorn varieties.
- **Enhanced Crop Safety:** The encapsulated acetochlor formulation ensures excellent crop safety, minimizing crop response and promoting healthier corn plants with higher yield potential.
- **Tank-Mix Compatibility:** Kyro is compatible with a wide array of tank-mix partners, including atrazine, glyphosate, fungicides, insecticides, and micronutrients, allowing for customized weed management programs tailored to specific field needs.
**Benefits:**
- **Effective Weed Control:** Provides robust postemergence activity and residual control, effectively managing resistant weed species and reducing the weed seed bank for subsequent seasons.
- **Versatility:** Fits seamlessly into two-pass herbicide programs and is suitable for various corn production systems, enhancing operational flexibility.
- **Operational Efficiency:** The premix formulation simplifies application procedures, reducing the need for multiple products and streamlining the weed management process.
**Usage Recommendations:**
- **Application Rate:** Apply Kyro at rates between 35 to 60 fluid ounces per acre, depending on weed pressure and targeted species.
- **Application Timing:** For optimal results, apply postemergence when weeds are actively growing and corn is no taller than 24 inches.
- **Tank Mixing:** When tank-mixing, always follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions of the mixing partners. Ensure compatibility by conducting a jar test before full-scale mixing.
**Safety and Handling:**
- **Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):** Handlers should wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant gloves during mixing, loading, application, and cleanup.
- **Restricted Entry Interval (REI):** Observe a 24-hour REI following application, during which entry to treated areas should be restricted.
- **Environmental Precautions:** To minimize the risk of runoff and leaching, avoid applications to saturated soils or during heavy rainfall events. Implement buffer zones as specified on the product label to protect sensitive areas.
*Note:* Always read and follow the product label instructions and adhere to state and local regulations. Consult with local agricultural extension services or crop advisors for guidance tailored to your specific region and cropping system. Kyro is not registered for sale or use in all states and is not available for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in the state of New York.
