No it’s labeled for post in sorghum use rate 12 oz compared to 32 luckily I only bought enough facet for 40 acres if I need any more definitely try the prize we had a stretch of dry weather and some fields had bad activation on the chemicals others had good here that corteva and adama and another company are coming out with a sorghum that can be sprayed with a broad spectrum grass herbicide post h...

Wow, that shot up in price. 3 yrs ago it was running 35-40/gal. Prize (similar product) runs like 145-150 on here. Lower use rate I believe. Quinstar last year ran us 189/gal & 8oz rate. But we’re also using it in a 2yr program. A one time shot is a little higher, maybe 12oz.
Got 40 acres I’m gonna try it on pre emerge chemical didn’t get a good activation read that they use facet l in rice for grass issues and now has been labeled for post in sorghum worth a try
