Chemical Weed Control Guidelines

Herbicide Product/Aa
(lb ai/A)
Weeds When to Apply Remarks and Paragraphs
Chemical weed control for hard red spring wheat, durum and winter wheat.
Roundup Ultra
Roundup Ultra RT
Glyphos
(glyphosate)
0.5 to 2 pt of 3 lb ae/gal conc. (0.19 to 0.75) Emerged grass and broadleaf weeds, and volunteer crops. Preplant or any time prior to crop emergence. A nonselective, translocated, foliar herbicide. No soil activity. Apply with AMS fertilizer. Combinations of 2,4-D or Banvel/ SGF/ Clarity with Roundup Utra/RT have increased the spectrum of broadleaf weeds controlled. Commercial mixtures of 2,4-D + glyphosate (Landmaster BW) and dicamba + glyphosate (Fallow Master) are available.
Banvel
Banvel SGF Clarity
(dicamba) + Roundup Ultra Roundup Ultra RT (glyphosate)
2 fl oz Banvel/Clarity or 4 fl oz SGF + 12 to 16 fl oz (0.0625 + 0.28 to 0.38)     Residual activity of Banvel/ SGF/ Clarity may control or suppress other weed flushes that may germinate after application. Refer to label for adjuvant use. User must possess label at application.
Gramoxone Extra (paraquat) RUP 1.5 to 3.0 pt (0.47 to 0.94) Emerged annual grass and broadleaf weeds. A nonselective, foliar herbicide. No soil activity. Apply with NIS at 0.12 to 0.25% v/v. Good plant coverage is essential.
Far-Go (triallate) WINTER WHEAT 1.25 qt 12.5 lb 10G (1.25) Wild oat Fall: For winter wheat. Apply just before to soon after seeding. Incorporate immediately after application. When applied after seeding, shallow incorporate with spike or spring tooth harrows.
HRSW & DURUM 1 qt 12.5 lb 10G (1 as liquid or 1.25 as granular) Fall: For HRSW, Durum and Barley. Apply within 3 weeks of freeze-up. Apply and incorporate with recommended equipment in the fall. Second incorporation should be done in fall or spring. Granules can be surface applied in the fall with a delayed two-pass incorporation performed in the spring prior to seeding. Delayed incorporation may not provide wild oat control equivalent to fall incorporation. For most reliable wild oat control incorporate within 48 hours after application.
BARLEY 1.25 qt 12.5 to 15 lb 10G (1.25 as liquid or 1.25 to 1.5 as granular)
HRSW & DURUM 1 qt
10 lb 10G

(1.25)
  Spring: For HRSW, Durum and Barley. Apply before or after seeding. PPI treatments 3 days or more more before seeding HRSW or durum. PPI with field cultivator set 4 inches deep. Two pass incorporation is recommended. For application after seeding, apply before kernel sprouts exceed 0.5 inch in length. Postplant incorporate with harrows set shallower than seed.
Buckle (triallate + trifluralin) DURUM & BARLEY 10 to 12.5 lb G (1 to 1.25 + 0.3 to 0.4) Wild oat and foxtails. Fall: Apply within 3 weeks of freeze up. Spring: For Barley. Prior to or after seeding.
