New Tools to Help Protect the Safety of Everyday Life


land management

Introducing three new herbicides to helpland managers achieve safer sites

and greater productivity


land managementProprietary Active Ingredient

• Products built around aminocyclopyrachlor, a proprietary active ingredient from DuPont

• Pyrimidine carboxylic acid class• New generation of synthetic auxin herbicides• Unique properties at molecular and whole-plant

levels deliver more potent herbicidal activity than other active ingredients– Faster action– Control wider spectrum of

broadleaf weeds, brush


land managementNew Chemistry Features

• Excellent post-emergence control of many broadleaf weeds, briars, vines and brush species

• Excellent residual control of many difficult-to-control broadleaf weeds

• Dry, concentrated formulation for less handling

• Comparatively low use rates per acre• Favorable environmental profile for minimal

impact on the environment • Low toxicity to mammals, birds and fish


land managementBiological Activity

• Quickly taken up by leaves, stems, roots• Effects within a few hours to a few days

– First: Bending, twisting of stems and leaves– Advanced: Severe necrosis, stem thickening, growth

stunting, leaf crinkling, calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, enlarged roots

• Death of treated broadleaf weeds may require several weeks

• Death of treated woody plant species may require several months

Selective Weed Control

DuPont™

Perspective™

herbicidexxx

• Broadleaf and invasive weed control for enhanced roadside safety, restoration of natural habitats in nature preserves and parks

• Control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in spring or fall applications

• Not a federally restricted-use herbicide

Designed to help roadsides stay clean from the start, maintaining roadside safety

and protecting natural resources

DuPont™

Perspective™

herbicidexxxImproved Productivity

• Flexible application timing, including fall applications for spring weed control, allows crews to balance spraying programs with other roadside duties

• Reduces mowing frequency and costs with applications that provide early-season weed control, suppress grass growth and inhibit seedhead formation

• Dry formulation mixes easily and remains in suspension

• Low use rate increases efficiency, making it easier to transport and requiring less storage space

“With Perspective™, we are able to use fewer applications. That’s better when dealing with the public and the environment.”

– Bill Walker, CPS Timberland

• Controls tough brush species to improve lines of sight along roadways, eliminate vegetation hazards at utility sites


Simple, broad-spectrum brush control for greater safety at utility sites and

along roadways

DuPont™

Viewpoint™

herbicidexxx

“Viewpoint™ is broader spectrum, easier to use and more environmentally compatible with our IVM practices.”

– Lee Atkins, Progressive Solutions, LLC

Broad-Spectrum Control

• Broad-spectrum control of oaks, sweetgum, hickory, yellow poplar, ash, red maple

• Controls hard-to-control species, including boxelder, hackberry, sugarberry, mesquite

DuPont™

Viewpoint™

• Low use rate and less tank-mixing to reduce inventory, measuring and mixing, and container disposal

“With Viewpoint™, you do so much more with so much less. That means much less inventory and crews will carry less product. You’ll be more economical.”
