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: Preplant or Preemergence
Surveil is a premix containing 12% cloransulam (FirstRate) and 36% flumioxazin (Valor). Can be applied in the fall or spring from prior to 3 days after soybean planting. Apply with oil concentrate for enhanced control of emerged weeds in no-till. Do not tank mix Surveil with Group 15 herbicides such as acetochlor, dimethenamid-P, or pyroxasulfone within 14 days of planting soybeans unless planted no-till on wheat or corn stubble. Do not rotate to wheat for 3 months; corn cotton, sorghum, or oats for 9 months; alfalfa for 10 months; sunflowers for 30 months; or alfalfa, canola, or other crops not listed on the label until successful completion of a field bioassay.
