Premixed pyrasulfotole bromoxynil (Huskie®) is a relatively new herbicide registered for use in wheat in 2008. Pyrasulfotole inhibits 4-hydoxyphenylpy- ruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in susceptible plants and is the first significant new mode of action for use in cere- als in more than two decades. Field experiments were conducted from 2007 to 2010 at two locations in Kansas, USA to test the efficacy of pyrasulfotole bromoxynil for broadleaf weed control and crop safety in winter wheat. Treatments included pyrasulfotole bromoxynil alone at 253 g·ai·ha−1 and tank mixtures of pyrasulfotole bromoxynil at 207 g·ai·ha−1 with MCPA at 280 g·ai·ha−1, dicamba at 140 g·ai·ha−1 or metsulfuron-methyl at 4.2 g·ai·ha−1. Herbicides were applied postemergence in fall and spring seasons. Pyrasulfotole bromoxynil alone or in combination with tank-mix partners, regardless of application time, controlled flixweed, blue mustard, bushy wallflower and field pennycress 98% or more. Henbit
