I was looking for something better for wild oat and broadleaf weed control in barley. The main weed problems are wild oats, Russian thistle and kochia. The wild oat control was good and it seems to be very sharp on kochia and Russian thistle which is what we have been looking for. Group 2-resistance is a concern and that’s why we mix up our crop rotations and chemical groups. If the weather is against us, Tundra’s wide window of application gives us a bit more time. I didn’t have any problems at all with crop safety, and it was simple to use. There’s only one product to put in the tank so it speeds up the operation and we have no tank mix issues. I was pleased with the overall result and plan to use it again on barley.

We sprayed Tundra last year on 40 acres of barley in the three to four leaf stage to control wild oats, wild buckwheat and lamb’s-quarters. The weed control was excellent and crop safety was very good. We couldn’t find any weeds after spraying. Not having to tank mix is definitely a benefit and there is less exposure to the chemistry. We plan to spray 300 to 400 acres of barley with Tundra this year.

I wanted to see how Tundra compared to other products for wild oat control so I tried it on 40 acres of wheat. I sprayed when the crop was in the three to four leaf stage and I was pleased with its performance on both wild oats and the broadleaf weeds. It was safe on the crop. We had some rain not long after spraying and it still performed well. Because it’s an all-in-one product it’s easy to use and I plan to use it again.

When it comes to weed control, three tough weeds – hemp-nettle, cleavers and wild buckwheat – narrow our product options. If you haven’t controlled the cleavers it can be a nightmare to swath at harvest time. We tried Tundra on 40 acres of feed barley and I didn’t see any cleavers when we swathed. We were also pleased with crop safety. We were worried the crop was getting too far along when we sprayed but we saw no colour change with the rest of the field. Tundra gives you the most bang for your buck. It’s priced competitively, easy to apply, crop safe and has a decent wild oat window. It can’t get much easier than having all your product in one container so it’s a pretty easy decision to use Tundra.

I used Tundra on some CPS wheat at the four to six leaf stage and I was really happy with the performance. There weren’t any issues with crop safety. It comes in one jug, so it’s easier than tank mixing, especially if you have a lot of acres to cover. We plan to spray about 400 acres of wheat with it this spring.

- Mike Montgomery, Dapp AB

We sprayed Tundra when the crop was in the three to four leaf stage and it was excellent on the thistle, it yellowed them off and provided good season-long control. I was surprised how fast it worked, even on the wild oats. I do all the spraying myself so the wide window of application gives me more flexibility. Performance was excellent. I didn’t have any escapes. We had left a check strip and it had significant weed infestation. Crop safety was great with no difference between the 40 acre plot and the rest of the field. Because Tundra is an all-in-one jug, it’s nice not to have to tank mix. I plan to use it again.

Tundra performed very well for us on both grassy and broadleaf weeds including sow thistle. We sprayed 40 acres of barley at the three to four leaf stage and the crop safety was very good. The large weed spectrum that it covers and its wide window of application are both key benefits. Also, Tundra is very user friendly, it mixes well and it's in one jug. For me that's appealing. Another bonus is that Tundra contains a different group of chemistry.

We sprayed Tundra on 40 acres of barley at around the four leaf stage. The wide window of application gives us flexibility which is important. I was happy with the product performance and crop safety. We couldn’t see a difference between the 40 acre plot and the rest of the field. Having one product to control both broadleaf and grassy weeds is very important. That’s just one less thing to worry about. It’s a bonus that you don’t have to tank mix.

We tried Tundra on some hard red spring wheat. We’d had hail on that canola field the year before and volunteer canola was our worst weed problem. Tundra did a very good job of controlling all the weeds for us. We like to spray early but you never know with the weather so the wide window of application is a nice feature. Using one product to control both broadleaf and grassy weeds is appealing – the less there is to handle the better off we are.

- Leo Gignac, Albertville SK

We tried Tundra on 40 acres of barley to control wild oats and some broadleaf weeds including thistles and wild buckwheat. It worked extremely well, was convenient to use, and was very crop safe. You can get caught up in some situations where things just don’t go as planned so the wide application window is a key benefit.
