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
Agility SG is a premix of Ally Extra SG plus dicamba. Apply after wheat is in the 2-leaf stage but before jointing of wheat for control of most broadleaf weeds. Can be applied with water, liquid nitrogen fertilizer, or a mixture of both as a carrier. If 50% or more of the carrier is liquid nitrogen fertilizer, a surfactant is not recommended. Otherwise, apply with NIS at 0.125 to 0.25% v/v. 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 or allow livestock grazing within 7 days of application. Allow 30 days between application and feeding hay from treated areas to livestock. Crop rotation restrictions differ with application rate, soil pH, and geography. Do not rotate to sorghum STS soybean, or proso millet for 4 months, corn for 12 months, sunflower for 10 to 22 months, non-STS soybean for 12 to 34 months, or other crops for 34 months unless a successful field bioassay is completed prior to planting the rotational crop.
