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
Has more residual grass activity than atrazine and is less water soluble. Usually applied late preplant of preemergence at about 1 lb/acre. Do not soil incorporate. Does not have foliar activity. Can be used on sand, silt, and loam soils that are low in organic matter. Has longer carryover than atrazine. Follow label directions.
