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
Solstice Herbicide may be applied postemergence to field, silage, seed, pop, or sweet corn from emergence to the 8-leaf stage or to 30 inches tall. Apply with COC at 1% v/v. NIS at 0.25% is acceptable, but weed control may be reduced. Using MSO adjuvants or blends may cause unacceptable crop injury. Include AMS at 8.5 lb/100 gal spray solution or UAN at 2.5% v/v to field, silage, or seed control only. Do not use AMS or UAN when applying Solstice Herbicide to sweetcorn or popcorn. When tank mixed with other herbicides follow the most restrictive label guidelines for adjuvant recommendations. Read and follow label directions.
