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: Sorghum
Application type: Postemergence
Helps control black nightshade, lambsquarter, pigweeds, and morningglory when applied to actively growing plants 1 to 4 inches tall and velvetleaf up to 18 inches tall. Can be applied to grain sorghum from 4 inches tall to prior to boot stage. Always apply with NIS at 0.25% v/v. Application with COC may cause excessive sorghum leaf burn and is not recommended. Avoid spraying under high-moisture conditions (heavy dew, rain). Can be tank mixed with other postemergence sorghum herbicides to broaden the weed spectrum and increase the level of control. For tank mixes, follow application and rotation guidelines of the more restrictive partner. Aim EC is a contact herbicide requiring thorough and uniform spray coverage. Any crop can be planted after 30 days following application.
