| Weed Problem | Chemical rate per acre | Product per acre | Treatment Time | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contact kill of most annual weeds for no-till plantings | Paraquat 0.5-1.0 lb
+ surfactant |
Gramoxone Inteon 2.0-4.0 pt
+ surfactant as labeled |
No-till establishment | Use 2.0-2.5 pints per acre for weeds 1 to 3 inches, use 2.5-3.0 pints per acre for weeds 3 to 6 inches, and use 3.0-4.0 pints per acre for weeds over 6 inches. Weeds 6 inches or taller may not be controlled. Apply after planting but before emergence of the small grain. Use 20 to 60 gallons of diluted spray per acre. As the density of the crop residue increases, the spray gallonage should increase to ensure complete coverage and kill. Use the higher rate if existing vegetation is dense, cool temperatures exist, or drought conditions are prevalent. |
| Kill of most annual weeds for no-till plantings | Glyphosate 0.5-5.0 lb | Roundup Weather Max
0.5-3.1 qt or Touchdown Total 0.35-3.5 qt or other labeled glyphosate formulation |
No-till establishment | See label for specific use instructions. The low rate can be used when small winter annuals are present and less than 2 inches high. Increase rate on larger weeds. Application with fan-type nozzles is preferred. The lower rate is more effective in 3 to 10 gallons per acre. The higher rates can be used in controlling certain perennials if their stage of growth and condition match glyphosate’s labeling. Touchdown Total is available in a non-surfactant formulation called Touchdown HiTech. |
