Arrest Max — Selective grass herbicide — 1 pint treats 1 acre

Slay — Selective broadleaf herbicide — 4 oz. treats 1 acre, 1 pint treats 4 acres
Sure Fire Crop Oil — Enhances efficiency of herbicides — 1 pint treats 2 acres
Grasses and weeds can crowd out your carefully planted food plots by competing with
them for valuable space, nutrients and moisture.
Arrest Max is a herbicide that will control most grasses, without harming clover, alfalfa,
chicory or any Whitetail Institute perennial product. Arrest Max is easily applied by
hand, 4-wheeler or tractor sprayer and has proven effective in extensive field tests.
Slay is field-tested and proven effective for controlling broadleaf weeds in clover or alfalfa
fields. Slay can be easily applied with a 4-wheeler or tractor sprayer. Using the right
herbicide can eliminate the need for replanting as often and ensure that your food plots
have maximum longevity.
