Postemergence
imazamox (Beyond)
Clearfield wheat only
Rate 0.031 to 0.047 lb ai/A (4 to 6 oz/A Beyond)
Time Apply postemergence to Clearfield wheat, after tiller initiation but before jointing. In Clearfield Plus (2-gene) varieties, applications can be made from the 2-leaf stage (if nonionic surfactant is used) until the second joint is detected at the soil surface. May be applied in fall-winter or spring, for winter or spring annual weed control. Apply when most actively growing annual grass weeds are in the four- to five-leaf stage. Broadleaf weeds should be actively growing and less than 3 inches tall.
Remarks Adding a nonionic surfactant and a liquid nitrogen fertilizer or ammonium sulfate solution is required. For Clearfield Plus wheat varieties, crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil may be substituted for nonionic surfactant after tiller initiation to increase weed control, but they may also increase crop response. Do not apply more than 8 oz/A per growing season.
Caution Use only on Clearfield wheat varieties. Temporary height reduction or slight leaf yellowing may occur after application; effects can be more pronounced under environmental stress. Do not tank mix with sulfonylurea herbicides due to potential crop response or weed control antagonism. Apply Beyond no more than 2 out of 4 years. Do not plant Clearfield wheat continually. There are no restrictions on feeding or grazing wheat forage and hay after applying Beyond. Some crops cannot be planted within 36 months of application. See label and supplemental label (Washington and selected counties in Idaho and Oregon) for crop rotation restrictions.

pinoxaden + fluroxypyr (Axial Star)
Rate 0.053 lb ai/A (pinoxaden) + 0.094 lb ai/A (fluroxypyr) (16.4 oz/A Axial Star)
Time Apply to wheat from the two-leaf to pre-boot stage. Apply to wild oat from one- to six-leaf stage on the main stem but before the fourth tiller emerges. Apply to green foxtail and Italian ryegrass from one- to five- leaf stage on the main stem but before third tiller emerges.
Remarks Use at least 5 gal/A water in aerial applications, 8 to 10 gal/A water in ground applications. Surfactant is not required with Axial Star formulation. REI 48 hr. PHI 60 days. Axial Star at 16.4 oz/A may be tank mixed with Starane Ultra herbicide (or other equivalent herbicides) at 2.7 oz/A (See label for Idaho, Oregon and Washington).
Caution Avoid applying in more than 10 gal/A water because grass control may be reduced. Do not apply to a crop stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, or disease or insect damage, because crop may be injured.
Site of action Group 1: acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor + Group 4: synthetic auxin
Chemical family (pinoxaden) Phenylpyrazolin; (fluroxypyr) Pyridine
pinoxaden + fluroxypyr + halauxifen (Rezuvant)
Rate 0.0535 lb ai/A (pinoxaden) + 0.1115 lb ae/A (fluroxypyr) + 0.0045 lb ae/A (halauxifen) (16.4 oz/A Rezuvant)
Time Apply to wheat from the two-leaf crop growth stage to flag leaf emergence (Zadok's scale 39).
Remarks Experience is lacking in the PNW with this product. For best results apply when susceptible broadleaf weed seedlings are actively growing and less than 4 inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled.
Caution Active ingredients may be present in plant materials for over 30 days or more after application. Do not compost plant material from treated area. Do not use manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage from treated areas for compost, mulch, or mushroom spawn until 30 days after application.

pyroxsulam (PowerFlex HL)
Rate 0.016 lb ai/A (2.0 oz/A PowerFlex HL)
Time Apply in either fall or spring to actively growing winter wheat from the three-leaf to jointing stage and after most weeds have emerged.
Remarks Apply with a nonionic surfactant (0.25% to 0.50% v/v) and ammonium sulfate (1.5 lb/A). When applying with fluid fertilizer, spray solution should not be composed of more than 50% liquid nitrogen and should not exceed 30 lb of actual nitrogen per acre. If applying with liquid nitrogen, use a nonionic surfactant at a maximum of 0.25% v/v, instead of crop oil concentrate.
Caution For winter wheat only. Do not mix with products containing dicamba or amine formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA or organophosphate insecticides. Consult label for crop rotation restrictions.
Site of action Group 2: acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor
Chemical family Triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide
pyroxsulam (TeamMate)
Rate 0.0133 lb ai/A (1.0 oz/A TeamMate)
Time Apply to actively growing wheat from the three-leaf to jointing stage and after most weeds have emerged.
Remarks Apply with a nonionic surfactant (0.25% to 0.50% v/v) and ammonium sulfate (1.5 lb/A). Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance activity of TeamMate. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and may regrow.
Caution Do not apply more than 1.0 oz/A per growing season. Do not apply within 60 days of harvest.

pyroxsulam + florasulam + fluroxypyr (GoldSky)
Rate 0.013 lb ai/A pyroxsulam + 0.0023 lb ai/A florasulam + 0.089 lb ae/A fluroxypyr (16 oz/A GoldSky)
Time Apply to actively growing wheat from 3-leaf to jointing stage after most weeds have emerged.
Remarks Apply with a nonionic surfactant (0.25 to 0.5% v/v) and ammonium sulfate (1.5 lb/A). Apply postemergence to the main flush of actively growing weeds according to target weed stage on label.
Caution Do not use with dicamba or amine formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA. Do not use an adjuvant when applying GoldSky in combination with emulsifiable (EC) formulations such as 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester products. Do not tank mix with organophosphate insecticides.
