carfentrazone (Aim EC)
Rate 0.008 to 0.016 lb ai/A (0.5 to 1 fl oz Aim EC)
Time Apply before, during, or after grain has been planted.
Remarks May be applied as a preplant burndown (up to 1 day before seeding), foliar broadcast or as a harvest-aid. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints/100 gal spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. A high-quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer may be used at 2% to 4% v/v (2 to 4 gal/100 gal spray solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 2 to 4 lb/A in addition to NIS. Tank-mixtures with other herbicides increase spectrum of control. Apply to actively growing weeds not more than 4 inches tall or rosettes 3 inches in diameter. Thorough coverage is essential for good control. To avoid significant crop response, do not apply within 6 to 8 hr of rain or irrigation or if heavy dew is present. REI 12 hr.
Caution Do not use Aim EC with crop oil concentrates (COC), methylated seed oil (MSO), or silicone-based adjuvants. Do not exceed 0.031 lb ai/A (2 fl oz Aim EC) per crop season. Do not harvest for forage within 7 days after application.

flumioxazin (Valor EZ and other trade names)
Rate 0.064 to 0.128 lb ai/A (2 to 4 oz/A Valor EZ)
Time Apply in crop preplant in combination with a burndown herbicide such as glyphosate to control emerged weeds.
Remarks Weed species controlled by residual activity are listed on the label. Consult label for restrictions on planting rotational crops following Valor EZ application in fallow. Do not apply to frozen or snow covered soil. REI 12 hr.
Caution Do not perform any tillage operation after application or residual weed control will be reduced. Consult label for rotational restrictions. Allow at least 4 months after application to plant wheat when 4 oz/A was used. Longer plant-back restrictions may apply.

sulfentrazone + carfentrazone (Spartan Charge)
Rate 0.094 to 0.194 lb ai/A sulfentrazone + 0.010 to 0.021 lb ai/A carfentrazone (3.8 to 7.6 oz Spartan Charge
Time Apply post-plant pre-emergence within 3 days after planting.
Remarks This is a 24c SLN registration for Idaho only; to be used for the control of Russian thistle and kochia. Consult label to determine rate for soil pH, percentage of organic matter, and texture. Consult label for specific crop rotation restrictions. REI 12 hr.
Caution Do not exceed 0.28 lb ai (10.2 oz) Spartan Charge per 12-month period. Do not apply after crop emerges or if seedlings are near soil surface. Do not apply on coarse soils or with less than 1.5% organic matter, or with soil pH greater than 7.6. Do not apply to frozen soil or to existing snow cover to prevent herbicide runoff from rain or snow melt. Do not incorporate to depths greater than 2 inches. Do not apply this product to spring wheat fields if this herbicide or additional sulfentrazone-containing products have been previously applied within the same 12-month period.

pyroxasulfone + carfentrazone (Anthem Flex)
Rate 0.059 to 0.132 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone +0.004 to 0.009 lb ai/A carfentrazone (2.0 to 4.5 fl oz/A Anthem Flex)
Time Apply 30 days preplant through fourth tiller. See label for application timing, soil type, and rate information.
Remarks Apply preplant through preemergence only to soils with a CEC greater than 15, pH less than 7.5, and organic matter greater than 2%. If soils do not meet these requirements, Anthem Flex must be applied as a delayed preemergence or postemergence treatment. Results are best when applied prior to weed emergence. May be applied as a single treatment or sequential treatments. May be applied with other labeled herbicides. For herbicide resistance management, particularly for Italian ryegrass, apply a spring postemergence grass herbicide such as Axial or PowerFlex. REI 12 hr.
Caution Wheat must be planted a minimum of 1 inch deep. Do not apply more than a total of 4.5 fl oz/A of Anthem Flex to wheat per year. Must have a minimum of 0.5 inch of rain to activate. Rainfall and/or irrigation needs to be between 48 hr and 7 days after application or weed control may be erratic. Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply to frozen or snow-covered ground.

glyphosate (several trade names)
Rate 0.375 to 0.75 lb ae/A (1 to 2 pt/A of a 3 lb ae/gal formulated herbicide)
Time Apply before, during, or after planting wheat, but before wheat emerges.
Remarks Results are best if a delay between tillage and planting allows weeds to emerge before the wheat. Glyphosate may be used only as a spot-treatment in wheat fields. Do not treat more than 10% of the field to be harvested. Be aware that glyphosate is formulated as 3 lb, 4 lb, 4.2 lb, 4.5 lb, and 5 lb ae/gal; be sure to use the correct amount of herbicide depending on the formulation. Some glyphosate products require adding a nonionic surfactant (NIS); check the label. The addition of 1 to 2% ammonium sulfate (AMS) by weight or 8.5 to 17 lb/100 gal spray solution may increase the performance of glyphosate particularly with hard water or spraying during drought conditions. REI 4 hr.
Caution Carefully check the entire field to ensure that wheat has not begun to emerge. Do not allow glyphosate to drift off target. Do not apply glyphosate through any irrigation system.

Chemical family Glycine
paraquat (Gramoxone SL 3.0, Paraquat concentrate, and several other trade names)
Rate 0.671 to 1.395 lb ai/A (1.3 to 2.7 pints /A Gramoxone 3.0)
Time Apply before, during, or after planting wheat but before wheat emerges and when weeds are actively growing and 1 to 6 inches tall.
Remarks It is essential to obtain complete coverage of target weeds to get good control. Results are best if a delay between tillage and planting allows weeds to emerge. Controls only annual weeds. Weeds 1 to 6 inches in height are the easiest to control. Always use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at a minimum of 0.125% v/v (1 pint/100 gal spray solution); crop oil concentrate (COC), or methylated seed oil (MSO) containing 15 to 20% approved emulsifier at 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal spray solution) with the application. REI 24 hr.
Caution A restricted-use herbicide. Do not mix or store in containers, spray tanks, nurse tanks or such systems made of aluminum or having aluminum fittings. Do not use or store in or around the home. May be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. See label for correct protective equipment. Applicators, mixers and loaders must wear long-sleeve shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, protective eyewear (applicator), face shield (mixers and loaders), Category A chemical resistant gloves, chemical resistant apron (mixers and loaders), and a dust mist NIOSH-approved respirator with an N, R, P, or HE filter. Dry, dusty conditions will decrease herbicide's activity. Do not apply if wheat has already emerged.
