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
Rave is a premix of Amber and dicamba. Controls many broadleaf weeds. Apply after emergence but before jointing of wheat. 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 0.25 to 0.5% v/v. Do not rotate to barley, oat, or rye for 6 to 18 months, corn for 14 to 36 months, sorghum for 14 to 24 months, STS soybean for 11 months, non-STS soybean for 14 to 26 months, or alfalfa for 24 months, and have a field bioassay performed, depending on soil pH and precipitation. In the event of catastrophic crop loss, grain sorghum and STS soybean can be planted 4 months after application if the grower is willing to accept the risk of crop injury. Refer to the label for additional use and crop rotation guidelines.
