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
For preemergence control of weeds, apply to soybean preplant, preplant incorporated into the surface 1 to 2 inches, preemergence, or postemergence. Controls grasses and small seeded broadleaf weeds. Rate depends on soil texture and organic matter. Often tank mixed with other herbicides for enhanced broadleaf weed control. Fall cereals can be planted 4 months after application, and any crop can be planted in the following season.
