Comments and limitations

This premix controls broadleaf weeds when applied to grain or forage sorghum between the 3-leaf stage of growth and 30 inches tall and/or prior to flag leaf emergence, whichever comes first. The addition of 1 lb/a of AMS and 0.25% v/v NIS or 0.5% v/v high-surfactant oil concentrate may optimize Huskie activity. Huskie will perform best if applied with 0.25 to 1 lb of atrazine. Huskie must be applied in a minimum of 10 gpa spray solution. A maximum of 32 oz of Huskie may be applied in two applications per year. There must be an interval of 11 days between Huskie treatments. Transitory leaf burn and yellowing may occur following a Huskie application on sorghum. These symptoms generally dissipate within 21 days. Potential for increased injury exists when Huskie-treated sorghum has been previously treated with preemergence-applied herbicides containing mesotrione (Lexar, Lumax, and Zemax). Do not graze or cut for forage within 7 days following Huskie application. Do not harvest grain or stover within 60 days of Huskie application.

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!
