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
Apply postemergence to field corn up to 20 inches tall or up to V7 (7 leaves or more), whichever is more restrictive. May be tank mixed with glyphosate products for application over glyphosate-tolerant corn. May be tank mixed with Starane and dicamba for kochia control. Precipitation is required for optimum activity. See label for tank mix precautions. Apply with 0.25% v/v of a good NIS plus either 2 qt/acre UAN or 2 lb/acre spray-grade AMS. Do not apply with liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier. Do not mix with Basagran, Lorsban, malathion, or parathion. May be applied aerially. Do not chemigate. Rotate to wheat after 4 months and to soybean, sorghum, or sunflower after 10 months. Follow label directions.
