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 after wheat is in the 2-leaf stage but before the flag leaf is visible for control of actively growing weeds less than 4 inches tall or across. Apply with NIS at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v or with an oil concentrate at 1% v/v. Recommended to be used in combination with other wheat herbicides having a different mode of action. Generally recommended for use in eastern and central Kansas. Do not feed forage from treated areas or allow livestock grazing within 7 days of application. Allow 30 days between application and feeding hay from treated areas to livestock.
