Early-season weed control sets the tone for the entire growing season. When weeds are controlled early and effectively, crops get the head start they need to compete, capture nutrients and protect yield potential. That’s why pairing the right adjuvant can make a meaningful difference.
Surtain® herbicide from BASF delivers powerful, long-lasting residual weed control in corn. When applied with Proteris™ adjuvants from Titan Pro, that performance is further supported by improved spray accuracy, better on-target deposition and reduced waste, helping you get the most from every application.
What Makes Surtain Herbicide Different
Surtain herbicide is an innovative residual solution designed to meet today’s weed management challenges. It combines two proven modes of action — saflufenacil (Group 14) and pyroxasulfone (Group 15) — into a first-of-its-kind technology.
This combination provides:
• Long-lasting residual control of tough grass and broadleaf weeds
• Flexible application timing from preemergence through early postemergence
• A non-HPPD option that helps manage resistance challenges
Surtain herbicide is built to protect fields early, when weeds are most vulnerable and competition can have the greatest impact on yield.
Why Adjuvants Matter More Than Ever
Even the best herbicide can only work if it reaches its intended target. That’s where adjuvants play a critical role.
Proteris adjuvants are designed around three core principles: Environmental Responsibility, Stewardship and Quality. Their role is simple but powerful: help crop protection products perform as intended, while reducing waste and off-target movement.
Adding an adjuvant can help enhance the efficacy of an active ingredient. If spray droplets drift, bounce or remain in the tank system, that investment is wasted — and so is some of your weed control potential.
The Advantage of Surtain + Proteris
When Surtain herbicide is applied with Proteris adjuvants, the goal is to maximize the value of the application.
Proteris adjuvants help applicators achieve:
• Improved droplet quality and spray accuracy, helping more product reach the target
• Better adhesion and absorption, allowing active ingredients to stick and stay where applied
• Reduced off-target drift and tank residual, minimizing waste and leftover product
This means more of the Surtain herbicide you load into the tank makes it out of the boom and onto the weeds where it’s needed most.
Protecting Performance and Your Investment
Residual herbicides like Surtain herbicide are designed to work over time. Ensuring that active ingredients are delivered efficiently at application helps preserve that residual performance throughout the season.
By pairing Surtain herbicide with Proteris adjuvants, growers can:
• Support consistent, early-season weed control
• Improve application efficiency
• Reduce product waste and off-target loss
It’s a practical approach to stewardship that protects both crop performance and input investment.
Start the Season Strong
Strong starts require the right combination of products and practices. Surtain herbicide delivers the residual control today’s fields demand, and Proteris adjuvants help ensure that performance isn’t left in the tank.
