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
Apply postemergence to Enlist soybean only from emergence through the R2 stage for control of emerged broadleaf weeds less than 6 inches tall. Should be part of a planned weed control program following residual preemergence herbicides. Some crops such as non-Enlist cotton and soybean are extremely susceptible to off-site movement of 2,4-D, so follow label guidelines for downwind buffers, and use restrictions near susceptible crops and sensitive areas. Do not spray if wind is blowing in the direction of adjacent susceptible crops. Do not apply aerially or during temperature inversions. Consult the label and website for approved spray tips, maximum spray pressures, acceptable wind speeds and approved tank-mixes: https://www.enlist.com/en/application-guide.html.
