NIC-IT EC (2 lb ai nicosulfuron) Labeled in Indiana
NIC-IT has the same active ingredient found in Accent [75% nicosulfuron]. It is labeled for field corn [seed or grain] popcorn, and sweat corn. NIC-IT can be applied at a rate of 2 to 4 fl oz/A up to V6 or 20 inch corn. However, the label recommends early post applications to corn less than 12 inches tall. This maintains applications on small weeds to reduce weed competition with corn. Nicosulfuron is excellent on several annual and perennial grasses such as foxtails, johnsongrass, quackgrass, and shattercane; good to excellent on barnyardgrass and fall panicum, but weak on crabgrass. Also has good activity on some broadleaf weeds such as annual morningglory, jimsonweed, pigweeds, and annual smartweeds. For season long control apply in a program that utilizes a residual herbicide. For best results, apply to 2 to 4 inch foxtail and fall panicum, 4 to 10 inch quackgrass, 4 to 12 inch shattercane, and 8 to 18 inch rhizome johnsongrass.
