Gowan Company LLC has received federal registration of its Sonalan HFP herbicide for use in potatoes and has sent labels to each state for approval.

Sonalan HFP is a FRAC Group 3 DNA herbicide containing ethalfluralin in a liquid EC formulation. It is tank-mix compatible with most pre-emergence herbicides for expanded control of annual grasses and key broadleaf weeds before emergence. Sonalan HFP provides extended weed control, which minimizes potatoes’ competition for water and nutrients, allowing the crop to yield to its maximum potential, according to the company. In addition, the product is billed as an excellent addition to herbicide resistance management programs.
