What weeds does Authority control?

Authority and Authority Charge provide outstanding value to
growers. Hard-to-control weeds like kochia, lambsquarters,
redroot pigweed, wild buckwheat and cleavers reduce yields
significantly. Growers who try Authority are overwhelmingly
pleased with the value the product provides because it tackles
challenges their current herbicides are not fully addressing.

our product.
Will Authority control volunteer RoundupReady
canola in soybeans?
Sulfentrazone does not consistently give a high level of control
of this weed on its own. On average, Authority and Authority
Charge provide approximately 50% residual control of
volunteer canola. This is not sufficient as a stand-alone
treatment, but it will help other products. It should be noted
that a tank mix of Authority + Imazethapyr has been submitted
for pre-emergent residual control, which should be an effective
combination for controlling volunteer canola in soybeans.
Are Authority and Authority Charge rainfall
activated? What if I dont get any rain?
The soil residual active ingredient in Authority and Authority
Charge (sulfentrazone) requires soil moisture to allow plant
uptake. However, this will take place with as little as inch of
rainfall, or less than 10 mm. Weed control will be reduced if
weeds germinate and emerge before the rainfall; however, the
product will be activated as soon as rain comes and will control
weeds that germinate afterward. Its very rare to have too little
rainfall for activation of Authority.
Ive heard that I cant grow certain crops after I
use Authority. What crops can I grow?
Authority has a 12-month re-cropping window for canola,
spring wheat, durum wheat, alfalfa, barley and field corn; 16
months for winter wheat; and 24 months for lentils, sweet corn
and sorghum. This means if you use Authority or Authority
Charge this year, you can plant canola next year or lentils two
years later.

FAQs
What rate should I use in my soybeans?
Rates for Authority and Authority Charge range from 32 - 43
acres per jug for Authority and 64 - 86 acres per case of
Authority Charge. The rate growers should use will depend on
what weeds are present and their soil type. Growers looking for
wild buckwheat or cleaver control should user higher rates. If
you are only looking for kochia control in medium to coarse
textured soils, lower rates within the range are recommended.
Please contact your local retailer or FMC rep for more detailed
