"Puma is a broad-spectrum, annual grass herbicide that provides excellent control of wild oats, green and yellow foxtail and barnyard grass, with unprecedented crop safety and no carryover problems," says Rick Burt, AgrEvo market manager. It also controls trifluralin-resistant foxtail and other weeds, Burt adds.

The active ingredient in Puma, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, effectively controls many grassy weeds from the two leaf to two-tiller stage with no rotational problems or varietal restrictions. The product includes a safener to protect wheat through jointing, and can be tank mixed with numerous broadleaf herbicides, as well as several insecticides and fungicides.
