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: Wheat
Application type: Postemergence
Controls many broadleaf weeds. Apply before boot stage of wheat. Use the higher rate for control of wild buckwheat and extended residual control. Can be applied with water, liquid nitrogen fertilizer, or mixture of both as a carrier. If 50% or more of the carrier is nitrogen fertilizer, no surfactant is needed. Otherwise, apply with NIS at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v. Tank mixes can improve weed control and reduce risk of herbicide resistance problems. Amber can be tank mixed with dicamba, bromoxynil, MCPA, Sencor, or 2,4-D. Do not apply any herbicide with same mode of action within 12 (pH < 7.5) to 15 (pH > 7.5) months after Amber application. Do not rotate to oat, barley, or rye for 6 to 18 months, grain sorghum for 14 to 24 months, soybean or corn for 14 to 36 months, or any other crop until a field bioassay is performed. Refer to label for additional use and crop rotation guidelines.
