Honcho FAQ

What weeds does Honcho control?

The Honcho label names 193 weeds, including alfalfa, alligatorweed, purple ammannia, spurred anoda, bahiagrass, and barley. Control varies by crop, rate, and timing.

What crops is Honcho labeled for?

What is the active ingredient in Honcho? Is it a generic?

Honcho's active ingredient is glyphosate (MOA Group 9). Other products list the same active ingredient; rates, formulations, and labeled crops differ — verify each on its own label.

Can I tank-mix Honcho?

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.
