Especially god for velvetleaf control and suppresssion of certain other small broadleaf weeds. The low rate is primarily to enhance velvetleaf control in tank mixes with other herbicides. Apply to field corn, seed corn, popcorn, or sweet corn up to 48 inches tall. There is a 90-day preharvest interval. Always apply in combination with 0.25% v/v NIS or 1 to 2 pt/acre crop oil. Cadet is a PPO inhibitor and can cause leaf burning or speckling. New growth is unaffected. Follow label directions.

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!
