Instigate® Herbicide

Instigate® Herbicide Handles Tough Corn Weed Control

DuPont™ Instigate® herbicide gives growers more flexibility for corn weed control, by allowing application from preplant through early emergence to handle broadleaf and grass weeds.

Boost Preemergence Herbicide Results

Instigate^® helps preemergence herbicide programs work harder by adding efficacy and improving results. Providing both burndown and residual corn weed control helps keep corn fields clean during the critical weed-free period.

Tank Mix Partner Options

Switching to Instigate^® means more tank-mix partner flexibility with additional product and rate options. Instigate^® can be partnered with most standard preemergence corn herbicide products.

Season-long Control

Get season-long corn weed control when used in a program with DuPont™ Cinch^® ATZ herbicide or with DuPont™ Breakfree^® NXT ATZ herbicide.

Easy to Use

Instigate^® makes it easy with a low use rate and a convenient dry formulation, so applicators don’t need to use pumps, tanks and meters for effective preemergence corn weed control.

DuPont™ Instigate^® herbicide is not registered in all states. DuPont™ Breakfree^® NXT ATZ and Cinch^® ATZ herbicides are restricted use pesticides. DuPont™ Breakfree^® NXT ATZ and Cinch^® ATZ herbicides are not registered for sale or use in all states.
