GENERAL INFORMATION AMIBEN~ granular chloramben herbicide has many desirable features: Outstanding control of annual broadleai weees and anoual grasses. E.cellert crop tolerance. No harmful residue in soil--no cha"g~ in n~'rmal cro; rotations. One of the most consistent preewergence herbicides avai'able. :estec and recom~ended Dy state colleges and extension agents. ProvEn effective on ~illjons of acres of soybeans. HOW AMIBEtn granular Y;;::~-:S AMI8ENI granular chloramben herbicide is most effective applied at planting time, when spreading and planting are done in the same operation, Subsequo.nt moisture moves the chemical Into tne soil where ger~'"atlng weed seeds taKe It up and are controlled.
