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
Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide can be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence to field corn, silage, or popcorn for broadleaf and grass weed control. Some popcorn hybrids may be sensitive to Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide. Check with seed supplier. Do not apply Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide to corn that has emerged, or significant crop injury may result. If broadleaf weeds are present at the time of application, to optimize burndown activity on broadleaf weeds, Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide should be aplied with MSO at 1% v/v (minimum of 1.0 pt/acre) plus AMS 8.5 to 17 lb/100 gal or liquid nitrogen at 1.25 to 2.5 gal/100 gal. Apply with glyphosate to control emerged grasses. Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide rate is affected by soil texture. Use 10 to 12 oz rate on coarse textured soils, 13 to 15 oz rate on medium textured soils, and 16 to 18 oz rate on fine-textured soils. Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide may be tank mixed or applied sequintially with but not exclusively with Sharpen powered by Kixor herbicide, Clarity, Status herbicide, atrazine, or glyphosate. Sequential applications with Sharpen powered by Kixor herbicide or Verdict powered by Kixor herbicide require 14 days between applications. Do not apply more than 0.134 lb/acre saflufenacil per cropping season. Do not use if organophosphate or carbamate insecticides were used at planting. Follow label directions.
