10 POTATO GROWER | FEBRUARY 2021 Helm Agro Katagon Herbicide HELM Agro US, Inc. recently announced that Katagon herbicide has received federal registration from the U.S. EPA. Katagon is a next-generation HPPD pre- mix herbicide for post-emergence use in field corn, offering two modes of action with the added benefits of a low use rate formulation, crop safety profile and a wide application window. A co-formulation of the active ingredients tolpyralate and nicosulfuron, Katagon delivers highly effective control of broadleaf weeds plus enhanced grass control when used in combination with atrazine. Katagon and atrazine together in a tank mix also provide residual activity for longer-lasting weed control performance.

New Products Summers Supercoulter Samurai Tillage Tool The Supercoulter Samurai tillage tool can be used in both spring and fall for residue management, light tillage and seedbed preparation. It is equipped with Summers' exclusive Osmundson Mfg. Co. patented Samurai disk blades, which are slightly concave with a notched sawtooth design for aggressively sizing today's tough residue and more soil movement. The Samurai blades perform well in wet and hard soils, as well as in dry conditions, and are heat-treated for extended life. Blades are spaced 10 inches apart on each gang, with the front and rear gangs offset for an effective 5-inch spacing, resulting in effective and consistent residue sizing. Gang angles can be manually adjusted in the shop from 1 to 5 degrees to accommodate unique soil types, conditions and personal preferences. For more information, contact Summers Mfg. Co. at (800) 732-4392 or www.summersmfg.com.
