- Control of 26 broadleaf weeds including Group 2- and 9-resistant kochia
- Excellent crop safety
- No re-cropping restrictions
- Registered for aerial application
- Numerous tank-mix options available
- Effective resistance management, contains Group 4 (2,4-D) and Group 6 (bromoxynil) active ingredients
- When Thumper is tank mixed with Varro™, the combination provides three modes of action (Groups 2, 4 and 6) against broadleaf weeds. Combining differing modes of action has been identified as a very effective way to manage and reduce the potential for the development of resistant populations.

| Rate |
| 0.4 L/ac. (20 ac./jug) |
| Timing |
| Spring wheat (including durum) and barley may be treated from the 4-leaf stage until the early flag-leaf stage. Application before the 4-leaf stage may result in crop injury. |
| Water Volume |
- Ground – minimum of 5 US gal./ac. (19 L/ac.)
- Aerial – minimum of 3 US gal./ac. (11 L/ac.)
- Bromoxynil is a contact herbicide and coverage is integral for weed control. Where possible, maintain water volumes at minimum levels to ensure control.
