The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved a minor use label expansion registration for Frontier Max herbicide for control or suppression of labelled weeds on dry bulb shallots grown on mineral and muck soils in Canada. Frontier Max herbicide was already labeled for management of weeds on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making weed management decisions within a robust integrated weed management program and should consult the complete label before using Frontier Max herbicide.

Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the Frontier Max herbicide label carefully.
