FOMA FAQ
What weeds does FOMA control?
The FOMA label names 72 weeds, including palmer amaranth, spiny amaranth, spurred anoda, balloonvine, carpetweed, and citron (wild watermelon). Control varies by crop, rate, and timing.
What crops is FOMA labeled for?
FOMA is labeled for 4 crops and uses, including soybeans, cotton, potato, and dry edible bean.
What is the active ingredient in FOMA? Is it a generic?
FOMA's active ingredient is fomesafen (MOA Group 14). Other products list the same active ingredient; rates, formulations, and labeled crops differ — verify each on its own label.
What's the plant-back interval after FOMA?
It depends on your rotational crop, application rate, and region, so the label gives a table, not one number. Build a program and FieldMarshal gives you the exact interval for your rotation from the label line, so you can verify it.
Build a program →Can I tank-mix FOMA?
It depends on your target weeds, crop stage, and which partners the label approves. Build a program and FieldMarshal checks the label for approved partners and gives the condition on each, so you can verify it.
Build a program →Plan in minutes, not hours.
Start with FOMA and let FieldMarshal build a defensible herbicide program for your field, every product, rate, and plant-back cross-referenced and checked against the label.
Free account and label filter. Building a program is paid, metered by use, so you pay only for what you build.
