The present invention comprises a novel combination and composition for controlling weeds in wheat. The combination comprises a post-emergence phenoxy herbicide such as Quizalofop-p-ethyl (QPE). The novel composition further includes a broadleaf herbicide. When applied to wheat comprising QPE tolerance, surprisingly, the novel composition appears to provide synergy that results in increased wheat yield over and above the yield expected from wheat intolerant of QPE, untreated wheat, or wheat treated with either QPE or a broadleaf herbicide. Despite the fact that QPE is typically used to kill members of the grass family, the present invention successfully employs the novel combination to increase wheat yield.
