Welcome to the Corvus Zone.

Corvus® pre-emergence herbicide is the ONLY

herbicide to offer burndown, residual and reactivation

for consistent performance all season long.

Burndown takes out early weeds.

Residual prevents new weeds.

Reactivation with rain gets late weeds.

Controls more than 65 weeds, including glyphosate-,

ALS-, PPO- and triazine-resistant weeds

Excellent resistance management tool

Ultra low use rate

CSI™ Safener technology allows for flexible use and

outstanding crop safety

Reactivation with Rain

Goes to work quickly and controls weeds through canopy, whether

conditions turn wet or even hot and dry.

Just a half inch of rain reactivates Corvus.

Corvus vs. Competitive Herbicides

Corvus provides many advantages that the competition cannot, including:

vs. Lumax®/Lexar®, Corvus:

• Reactivates with rain

• Provides stronger burndown on grasses

• Has longer, stronger residual

• Utilizes low use rate technology

vs. Verdict®, Corvus:

• Offers a wider window of application

• Provides better crop safety

• Reactivates with rain

• Provides superior control of broadleaf weeds and grasses

• Has longer, stronger residual

vs. SureStart®/TripleFLEX®, Corvus:

Assists in resistance management

Reactivates with rain

Provides stronger burndown on grasses

Utilizes low use rate technology







Broad-Spectrum Control

Controls a broad spectrum of

broadleaf weeds, including giant

ragweed and morningglory, that

may be missed or only partially

controlled by Lumax, Lexar,

Verdict, SureStart or TripleFLEX.







Controls a broad spectrum of

grass weeds, including woolly

cupgrass, shattercane and

foxtail, that may be missed or

only partially controlled by

Lumax, Lexar, Verdict,

SureStart or TripleFLEX.

Waterhemp and Palmer Amaranth

Management

Most grass and broadleaf weeds are controlled with just one

application of Corvus at 5.6 fl oz/A.

Weeds such as waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, however, are

simply difficult to control, regardless of whether or not they are

resistant to glyphosate.

These specific weeds have characteristics which allow them to

germinate over the entire growing season, grow rapidly and produce a

large amount of seed.

When waterhemp or Palmer amaranth are present, Corvus is the best

two-pass option on the market and is recommended as a foundation

herbicide in a planned two-pass herbicide program.







Resistance Management Tool

Dual modes of action help manage and prevent the development of

resistance:

HPPD Inhibitor (commonly known as a bleacher)

Inhibits 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in plants

HPPD is key to production of protective pigments and development of

chloroplasts in plants

By inhibiting this development, emerging plant tissue is bleached (white to

pale yellow)

ALS Inhibitor

Inhibits acetolactate synthase enzyme

Prevents production of three essential branch-chain amino acids

These amino acids are building blocks for a plant’s normal growth and

development

Provides four modes of action when tankmixed with glyphosate and

atrazine to kill resistant weeds.







Resistance Management Tool

Corvus integrates easily into an overall pest and weed management

strategy which helps:

Manage resistant and tolerant weed populations

Maintain the viability of other herbicide programs

Employ practices known to limit weed development and herbicide use

(tillage, scouting and proper application timing) whenever possible.

Always use the full labeled rates as shown on the label.







Respect the Rotation™

Rotating herbicide mode of action (MOA) is essential

to improving weed resistance management and helps

you Respect the Rotation™.

1. Rotate mode of action and/or use multiple MOAs

to reduce the selection pressure caused by

overusing a single MOA.

2. Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits.

3. Rotate crops.







Ultra Low Use Rate

Ultra low use rates (ULUR) provide time and costs savings

Apply at ounces per acre vs. pints or quarts per acre

Less shipping, easier storage and handling, and fewer jugs

An average retailer (servicing 30,000 corn acres) can save up to $50,000 by switching

from bulk to ULUR products







Outstanding Crop Safety

Crop Safety Innovation (CSI) Safener technology:

Changes the capacity of the plant to withstand

herbicidal activity, which may lead to increased root

and plant health

Allows Corvus to be used on any soil, enabling

greater crop compatibility

• Has both soil and foliar uptake, making the safener

active in pre and early post applications

• Exclusive Bayer technology







Corvus 5.6 fl oz/A + 1 qt/A atrazine on sandy soil

Outstanding Crop Safety







Flexibility

Available for use in field corn, corn grown for silage, and corn grown

for seed.

Use in a wide variety of timing and tillage programs:

Conventional

Conservation tillage

No-till crop management systems

Postharvest noncrop

Preplant

Pre-plant incorporated (less than 2 inches

deep)

Pre-emergence

Early postemergence through the 2-leaf

collar (V2) growth stage







Flexibility

Use in an integrated weed control program with:

Liberty® herbicide on LibertyLink® hybrids

Glyphosate on Roundup Ready® hybrids

A strong tankmix partner for a number of herbicides,

most importantly, atrazine.

The addition of atrazine can improve spectrum and

consistency of weed control

See label for full listing of compatible herbicides and

usage rates.

Specific Use Directions







Adjuvants - Burndown

When weeds are present at time of treatment and prior to corn

emergence, tankmix Corvus with COC or MSO for burndown of

labeled weeds 6 inches or less in height.

When weeds are greater than 6 inches in height or weeds not

controlled by Corvus are present, the addition of a nonselective

herbicide is recommended.

Glyphosate, paraquat, 2,4-D







Adjuvants - Post

Corvus is available for application to corn in a

tankmix with atrazine from spiking through the 2-leaf

collar (V2) growth stage.

Do not use COC or MSO with Corvus herbicide

applied to emerged field corn.

Tankmixes with other herbicides or adjuvants are

not recommended for early postemergence

applications of Corvus herbicide as crop response

symptoms, including bleaching, leaf-edge necrosis

and stunting, may result.







Summary

Corvus herbicide is the ONLY herbicide to offer burndown, residual

and reactivation providing consistent weed control under varying

weather conditions.

Corvus offers uncompromised weed control all season long at

5.6 fl oz/A, whether conditions turn wet or hot and dry.

Two modes of action to control glyphosate-, PPO- and triazine-

resistant weeds, with outstanding crop safety.

With its rapid burndown of weeds, Corvus is perfect for any tillage

program, including no-till and minimum-till.
