Wild Card Xtra

Technical Information

Wild Card Xtra is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing the equivalent of 2 lbs. per gallon of bromoxynil and 2 pounds per gallon of MCPA.

Wild Card Xtra is a selective post-emergence herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting small grains (wheat, barley, oats, rye), conservation reserve program areas, and grass grown for seed. Optimum weed control is obtained when Wild Card Xtra is applied to actively growing weed seedlings. Wild Card Xtra is primarily a contact herbicide; therefore thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for optimum control.

Wild Card Xtra has little residual activity. Therefore subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial treatment. 4 Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain crops or short-straw varieties, for example Yaccora Rojo wheat, may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to shade the subsequent flushes of weeds.

Occasional transitory leaf burn may occur. The temporary leaf burn is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer. Because the activity of Wild Card Xtra is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting effect. Frequency and amount of leaf burn may be greater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to cold evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that caused by hail, sleet or insect feeding. To reduce the potential for temporary leaf burn, applications should be made to dry foliage in the recommended spray volumes per acre when weather conditions are not extreme.
