Atrazine applied immediately following fall sweep will kill volunteer wheat and weeds until the next summer. Limit summer tillage operations prior to planting. b.

The following is required: (1) Contact herbicides, such as Paraquat or Roundup, plus atrazine or residual and tank mixes such as atrazine-Bladex and atrazine-Igran shall be applied immediately following harvest to kill existing weeds and give long—term weed control. (2) A short residual herbicide may be used for spring applica— tion if necessary to control weeds to substitute for tillage operations normally used. (3) A slot or no—till planter or grain drill shall be used that will disturb not more than 25% of the soil surface. b. Corn, sorghum, and small grains (chemical only) .
