For specific weed problems, various tank-mixes are possible; see manufacturer's label for recommendations. There are no grazing restrictions for chlorsulfuron.

Caution Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not use on soils above pH 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend crop rotation interval beyond normal. Carefully follow label instructions on crop rotations. Many crops may not be planted within 24 months or longer after applying.

Rate 0.0897 to 0.1256 lb ae/A clopyralid + 0.1116 to 0.1562 lb ae/A fluroxypyr + 0.0704 to 0.0976 oz ae halauxifen (14 to 19.6 oz/A WideARmatch)

Time Apply to wheat (including durum) from the 2-leaf stage to flag leaf emergence.

Remarks For best results, apply to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at time of treatment will be controlled.

Site of action (all) Group 4: synthetic auxin

Chemical family (clopyralid and fluroxypyr) Pyridine; (halauxifen) Arylpicolinate

dicamba (Clarity and other trade names)

Rate 0.062 to 0.125 lb ae/A (2 to 4 oz/A Clarity)

Time Application may be made before, during or after planting small grains.

Remarks Treated wheat may grow semi-prostrate after application, but this normally does not affect yield. There is no waiting period between treatment and grazing for non-lactating dairy animals. For lactating dairy animals, see the label.

Caution Do not let dicamba drift off target.

Site of action Group 4: synthetic auxin

Chemical family Benzoic acid

dicamba (Clarity and other trade names) + 2,4-D (various trade names) or MCPA (various trade names)

Rate 0.062 to 0.125 lb ae/A dicamba (2 to 4 oz/A Clarity) + 0.25 to 0.375 lb ae/A 2,4-D or MCPA

Time Apply in spring after wheat has at least four tillers and 12 leaves but before it begins to joint. Do not apply in fall.

Remarks Treated wheat may grow semi-prostrate for a while, but normally yield is not affected. See label for grazing restrictions.

Caution Do not let these combinations drift off target.

Site of action (all) Group 4: synthetic auxin

Chemical family (2,4-D and MCPA) Phenoxy acetic acid; (dicamba) Benzoic acid

florasulam + fluroxypyr (Starane Flex)

Rate 0.004 lb ai/A florasulam + 0.088 lb ae/A fluroxypyr (13.5 oz/A Starane Flex)

Time Apply to actively growing wheat from the three-leaf to flag leaf emergence. Apply when susceptible broadleaf weeds are actively growing and less than 4 inches tall.

Remarks Only weeds emerged at treatment will be controlled. Best results are obtained from application made to seedling weeds.

Caution Plant only wheat, barley, or oats within 120 days after application. See label for other crop intervals. Do not apply more than once per season. Preharvest interval is 60 days.

Site of action Group 2: acetolactate synthase inhibitor + Group 4: synthetic auxin

Chemical family (florasulam) Triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide; (fluroxypyr) Pyridine

florasulam + MCPA ester (Orion)

Rate 0.0044 lb florasulam + 0.31 lb MCPA ester/A (17 oz/A Orion)

Time Apply early postemergence to actively growing weeds and wheat from the three-leaf crop growth stage up to the jointing stage. A later application when the crop is between the jointing and boot stage may be used to control later emerging weeds; however, do not apply unless the risk of injury is acceptable. Do not apply after the boot stage.

Remarks An adjuvant may be added to optimize herbicidal activity under suboptimal conditions. Do not apply more than 17 oz/A Orion per growing season. Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application. Do not apply within 60 days of crop harvest. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Follow label instructions on crop rotation restrictions.

Caution If foliage is wet at the time of application, control may be decreased. Orion is rainfast within 4 hr after application.

Site of action (florasulam) Group 2: acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor; (MCPA ester) Group 4 synthetic auxin

Chemical family (florasulam) Triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide; (MCPA ester) Phenoxy acetic acid

MCPA (various trade names)

Rate 0.5 to 1 lb ae/A

Time Apply in spring after wheat has at least three tillers and nine leaves up to boot stage.

Remarks Do not apply in fall.

Caution Do not let MCPA drift off target.
