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: Soybean
Application type: Postemergence
Primarily for velvetleaf control and suppression of certain other small broadleaf weeds. The low rate is primariy to enhance velvetleaf control in tank mixes with other broadleaf herbicides. Apply to soybean from emergence through the full flower stage of growth to control or suppress labeled weeds less than 2 inches tall. Large velvetleaf can be controlled with the use of higher rates. Always use in combination with 0.25% v'v NIS or 1 to 2 pt/acre COC. Cadet is a contact herbicide and can cause temporary leaf burning or speckling, but new soybean growth is unaffected.
