Recommended insecticides vary depending upon which insect you have. These are listed in the MP-144, or you can call the Extension office for a recommendation. Red rice control is an ongoing battle and cleaning it up in soybeans is our primary method of management. Everyone tries to get control of small red rice early in the season, but there are almost always going to be some escapes. Seedhead suppression with Select is the best way to keep these escapes from going to seed.
Timing is critical.
The best timing is probably when the earliest main tillers are at late boot or just starting to crack the boot. This should assure that most of the later tillers are at least at panicle initiation. The rate of Select is 4 ounces per acre with 1 percent crop oil concentrate added. I've had a few questions about mixing Blazer with the Select for coffeebean control. Antagonism will typically not be a significant problem with this mixture.
