Carter EC Herbicide quart (32 oz)

Carter EC Herbicide

Carter EC Herbicide is a fast-acting post-emergent broadleaf herbicide powered by carfentrazone-ethyl. As a Group 14 PPO inhibitor, Carter EC delivers rapid contact activity on labeled broadleaf weeds, with visible desiccation symptoms often appearing within hours after application.

Carter EC is labeled for use in a wide range of agricultural crops and non-crop farmstead areas. It can be used for selective post-emergence broadleaf weed control, burndown prior to planting, sucker control, harvest aid applications, and defoliation or desiccation in labeled crops. Carter EC is the generic equivalent of Aim EC Herbicide.

Application Notes

Apply Carter EC according to the crop-specific directions on the product label. Carter EC is a contact herbicide, so thorough spray coverage is essential for good weed control. Best results are achieved when applications are made to actively growing weeds that are small, generally up to 4 inches tall or rosettes less than 3 inches across unless otherwise specified by the label.

Do not apply Carter EC within 6 to 8 hours of rain or irrigation, or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Avoid applications when conditions favor drift. Carter EC is a PPO contact herbicide and can injure desirable vegetation if spray mist contacts sensitive crops, green stems, foliage, blooms, or fruit. Follow all crop-specific rates, adjuvant requirements, pre-harvest intervals, rotational restrictions, spray buffers, and application method restrictions on the label.
