Comments and limitations

Controls annual broadleaf weeds as a preplant incorporated or preemergence application. Preemergence treatments can be tank mixed with glyphosate, Gramoxone SL, or 2,4-D to help control emerged weeds in no-till. Do not apply if soil pH is greater than 7.8. Corn and soybean can be planted anytime after application. Do not rotate to alfalfa for 4 months, wheat and oat for 4.5 months, grain sorghum for 12 months, sunflower for 18 months, or any other crop until a field bioassay has been completed. Do not apply aerially or through a chemigation system.

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!
