WEEDS 



LASSO GRANULES CLEARED 



Lasso 10-percent granules have now been cleared for use, 

 so the herbicide is cleared for both soybeans and corn. 

 for soybeans in 1969. 



Lasso liquid was cleared earlier, 

 Primary emphasis will likely be 



So far, in both soybean and corn trials, tolerance appears to be good with Lasso. For 

 most individuals, Lasso is less irritating than Randox or Ramrod, and it controls about 

 the same spectrum of weeds as Ramrod. 



However, compared to Ramrod, Lasso may perform somewhat better on the lighter soils, may 

 hold up better under relatively heavy rain, and may control weeds slightly longer. Under 

 low-rainfall conditions, Ramrod may sometimes perform slightly better than Lasso.
