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: Preplant or Preemergence
Anthem Maxx may be applied in the fall for residual weed control or from 45 days before planting to postemergence up to 4 visible collars to field corn, seed corn, sweetcorn, and popcorn for broadleaf and grass weed control. The addition of atrazine, Balance Flexx (preemergence only to corn), or Hornet to Anthem Maxx will improve control of additional broadleaf species. Apply Anthem Maxx at 2.5 to 4 fl oz on coarse soils, 2.5 to 5.5 fl oz on medium soils, and 3 to 6.5 fl oz on fine textured soils. See label for organic matter effect on Anthem Maxx rate with soil textures. If weeds are present at the time of application add COC or MSO at 1 to 2 pt/a or NIS at 0.25% V/V to enhance activity on emerged weeds. Anthem Maxx is compatible with liquid and dry fertilizers. Do not harvest field, pop, or seed corn for forage within 30 days and for grain or fodder within 70 days of the final Anthem Maxx application. Do not harvest sweet corn for forage or ears within 40 days of Anthem Maxx application. Rotation intervals vary based on Anthem Maxx rate used, soybean, 0 to 4 mo.; grain sorghum, 6 to 10 mo.; wheat, 1 to 6 mo.; sunflower, 4 mo.; and alfalfa 10 mo. See label for other crop rotation restrictions.
