Corvus® Corn Herbicide offers more than dead weeds for farmers. Bryan Henrichs, dairy and grain producer, uses the one-pass corn herbicide. Because of the single-trip program, farmers are saving in time, labor and follow-up application costs. Corvus® offers rapid burndown, reactivation and residual control of weeds that are resistant to glyphosate. For more information visit: http://www.bayercropscience.us/products/herbicides/corvus/
