Suppress Herbicide EC is registered as a broad spectrum contact herbicide for post-emergent, non-selective weed control for use in all agricultural food and non-food crops.

In four years of university research trials, Suppress Herbicide EC has consistently shown excellent results in controlling various weeds, even under unfavorable conditions. The product provides rapid, effective control under cool and cloudy conditions as well as warm and sunny conditions.

“The introduction of this new product is exciting news and what organic growers have been waiting for,” says Tina Koenemann, Westbridge president. “The herbicide will provide growers with a safe and valuable tool to help meet their production goals. It could also prove to be a valuable option for conventional growers to use as a rotational herbicide where resistant weeds have become a problem.”
