Summary• Weeds – control broadleaves in previous grass crop,
control grasses in Sunflower crop (Resistant Kochia)
• Fertility – soil test and set yield goals accordingly N – 150
lb N/3000 lb yield, P – 0 lbs/a on medium testing soils, K –
sandy soils , Micros ? Soil Test!
• Stand establishment – plant 2 inches deep, use small
sized seed
• Control insects at 10% bloom (1 plant in 10 in bloom)
• Irrigation – sunflower produces best with about 21 inches
of total water. Peak water use - bloom
• Harvest – as close to 10% as possible

Clearfield SunflowerRecommendations
• Application timing.
• When sunflower is between the V-2 and V-8 growth stage.
• When weeds are between 3 and 5 in (generally).
• When sunflowers and weeds are actively growing. Goathead – reduced seed #’s by 95%
• Application rates.• 4.0 oz/A Beyond
• Clearfield tolerant varieties only!!
• Express type an option also
![Page 48: 2021 Sunflower Update - Golden Plains Area Extension](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051915/6284f5ecd105bc288e4970f5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Apply Zidua soil applied at 1 to 4 fl oz/A
depending on soil texture. Zidua may be applied
early postemergence from V1 to V8 at 1 to 2 fl
oz/A to provide residual weed control. Do not
apply an accumulated amount more than 5 fl oz/A
during a growing season.
High pH soils – use reduces rates
pH above 7.5 no more than 2 oz/a

Pre-emergence Herbicides
Pre-emergence refers to timing of
weed emergence (not crop)
Must be applied prior to target weed
emergence – little to no activity after
germination
Require moisture to activate –
usually ½ to 1” for all PREs
EPTC (Eptam)
ethalfluralin (Sonalan)
trifluralin (Treflan, Trust, etc.)
sulfentrazone (Spartan,
others)
S-metolachlor (Dual, others)
