New Tools to Help Protect the Safety of Everyday Life
DuPontherbicides for
land management
Introducing three new herbicides to helpland managers achieve safer sites
and greater productivity
DuPontherbicides for
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
DuPontherbicides for
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
DuPontherbicides for
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.”

• Controls tough brush species to improve lines of sight along roadways, eliminate vegetation hazards at utility sites
• Not a federally restricted-use herbicide
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™
