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
Status herbicide combines diflufenzopyr and dicamba with isoxadifen, a safener. It may be broadcast applied over corn from 4 to 36 inches tall or the V8 stage. Always apply with NIS, MSO, or COC plus a nitrogen source such as 5 qt/100 gal of spray-grade AMS. When using AMS, dissolve Status herbicide in the tank before adding AMS. May be tank mixed with glyphosate for resistance management. May be aerially applied west and inclusive of Highway 81 in Kansas.Do not tank mix with growth regulator herbicides containing 2,4-D, dicamba, or slopyralid. Sequintial treatment with these products must be separated by at least 15 days . Do not tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate formulations of chloracetamide herbicides (which include actives: metolachlor, acetochlor, dimethenamid). Follow label directions.

Always apply with NIS, MSO, or COC plus a nitrogen source, such as 5 qt/100 gal of UAN or 5 to 17 lb/100 gal of spraygrade AMS. When using AMS, dissolve Status in the tank before adding AMS. May be tank mixed with glyphosate for resistance management. May be aerially applied west and inclusive of Highway 81 in Kansas. Do not tank mix with growth regulator herbicides containing 2,4-D, dicamba, or clopyralid. Sequential treatment with these products must be separated by at least 15 days. Do not tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate formulations of chloroacetamide herbicides (which include actives: metolachlor, acetochlor, and dimethenamid).
