Chemical selector
The Pesticide Selector includes suggestions for chemical control of pests in Kansas crops, which are provided by K-State Research and Extension, and may not be relevant for states other than Kansas. We will continue to expand this tool for help in selecting other types of agricultural chemicals, and for other states. Contact the myFields Team if you are interested in contributing content!

Crop type: Corn
Application type: Postemergence
Starane NXT can be applied to field corn as a broadcast application by either ground or air, from emergence (low use rates) through and including the V5 stage. May be tank mixed with other labeled corn herbicides, but spray mixtures that include spray additives or liquid fertilizers may cause excessive corn leaf burn. Follow label directions.
Starane can be applied to field corn as a broadcast application by either ground or air. Use of a high quality adjuvant is recommended for improved weed control, especially in hot, dry conditions. Apply to field corn up to and including the V5 stage of growth. Starane can be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for postemergence application to corn. Follow label directions.
