2,4-D LV ester
Rate 1 lb ae/A
Time Apply when horseweed is in the seedling to rosette stage of growth.
Remarks Plants should be actively growing at time of treatment.
Caution Avoid drift to sensitive crops and desirable vegetation. This product will injure or kill sensitive broadleaf plants.
Site of action Group 4: synthetic auxin
Chemical family Phenoxy acetic acid
aminocyclopyrachlor + chlorsulfuron (Perspective)
Rate 1.8 to 3.2 oz/A aminocyclopyrachlor + 0.7 to 1.3 oz/A chlorsulfuron (4.5 to 8 oz/A of product)
Time Apply to actively growing plants in spring.
Remarks Adjuvants can be used; these include methylated seed oils 0.5 to 1% v/v, nonionic surfactants at 0.25 to 1% v/v, and crop oil concentrates at 1%v/v. Can be applied using an invert emulsion rather than water.
Caution Even low rates can kill nontarget tree and shrub species, so avoid application within a distance equal to the tree height of the sensitive species. Do not allow spray to drift off target. Can injure several grass species including bromes, as well as basin wildrye.
Site of action (aminocyclopyrachlor) Group 4 synthetic auxin; (chlorsulfuron) Group 2: ALS inhibitor
Chemical family (aminocyclopyrachlor) Pyrimidine carboxylic acid; (chlorsulfuron) Sulfonylurea
aminopyralid (Milestone)
Rate 1 to 1.5 oz ae/A (4 to 6 fl oz/A Milestone)
Time Apply to actively growing plants.
Remarks A nonionic surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gal of spray enhances control under adverse environmental conditions
Caution Do not allow drift to desirable vegetation. Many forbs (desirable broadleaf plants) can be seriously injured or killed. Do not exceed 7 fl oz/A Milestone per year.

Chemical family Pyridine
dicamba (Clarity)
Rate 0.25 lb ae/A
Time Apply in the seedling to rosette stage.
Remarks Plants should be actively growing at time of application.
Caution Avoid drift to sensitive crops and desirable vegetation. This product will injure or kill sensitive broadleaf plants.
Site of action Group 4: synthetic auxin
Chemical family Benzoic acid
diflufenzopyr + dicamba (Distinct)
Rate 4 oz/A
Time Apply in the seedling to rosette stage.
Remarks Plants should be actively growing at time of application.
Caution Avoid drift to sensitive crops and desirable vegetation. This product will injure or kill sensitive broadleaf plants.
Site of action (diflufenzopyr) Group 19: inhibits indole acetic acid transport; (dicamba) Group 4: synthetic auxin
Chemical family (diflufenzopyr) Semicarbazone; (dicamba) Benzoic acid
flumioxazin (Chateau or Payload)
Rate 2 to 6 oz ai/A (4 to 12 oz/A). Rate depends on application timing and soil type and organic matter.
Time May be applied preemergence or postemergence to small, actively growing horseweed.
Remarks Preemergence treatments require rain to move into the soil. Can be used in several crops.
Caution Note recropping restriction intervals on the label.
Site of action Group 14: protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor
Chemical family N-phenylphthalimide
glyphosate
Rate 0.75 to 1.5 lb ae/A
