Meet Huskie® PRE, Western Canada’s first Group 27 cereal pre-burn and pre-emergent herbicide. It delivers fast-acting early-season control of tough broadleaf weeds and herbicide-resistant species including kochia, lamb’s-quarters, cleavers, and wild buckwheat.
Apply Huskie PRE as your pre-burn ahead of halauxifen-methyl to maximize control and minimize weed pressure. Huskie PRE is designed to be tank-mixed with partners like Roundup Transorb® HC herbicide for powerful, reliable control. With rapid burn down activity from Group 6 bromoxynil paired with Group 27 pyrasulfotole, Huskie PRE helps you put broadleaf weeds in the doghouse — before halauxifen joins the pack.
It’s time to chase Group 2, 4, 5, 9, and 14 resistant weeds off your land. Huskie PRE has the fast-acting, reliable, early-season broadleaf weed control you need for effective cereal crop protection.
It’s easy to see which crops are in Huskie PRE territory. Compared to no burndown or Roundup WeatherMAX® alone, adding Huskie PRE to your burndown helps gives halauxifen a cleaner start and stronger results.

As herbicide-resistant weed pressure continues to expand, weed management tank-mix partners from Groups 4, 6, 14, 15, and 27 are critical to successful population control.
Early spring management reduces your reliance on in-crop applications and supports proper crop and weed staging for in-crop applications to help optimize efficacy and performance. This gives you more breathing room for post-emergent applications that reduce in-crop weed pressure so your crop has optimized yield potential.
Broad-spectrum, early weed control reduces competition for limited spring resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight. This leads to better growth and higher yield potential
Huskie PRE is a great burndown partner. When used ahead of a permissible halauxifen herbicide, it helps control key weeds early so your in-crop herbicides can do their job more effectively.
