Did you mow first? I have sections that look okay then I have sections that are dominated by weeds.
Here are a few pictures. These are the better looking areas but you can see foxtail in the background. The entire area was supposed to be switch. There are other weeds besides the foxtail. I still feel like I should mow, spray, and reseed some of it.
Try spraying the foxtail areas with quinclorac after green up. Atrazine is weak on foxtail. You may be surprised how the switch will take off.View attachment 20692View attachment 20693View attachment 20694

I want to overseed the area with more Kanlow. Some of the first year Kanlow is over 6’ tall. I feel like I read something about Quinclorac and new seedlings but not quite sure. Now that some of the foxtail is dying off the switch is a lot stronger than I originally thought.Try spraying the foxtail areas with quinclorac after green up. Atrazine is weak on foxtail.

Ive got 12 lbs of CIR and 3 lbs of Kanlow to plant. First stop is this one.
Where did you purchase the seed? I found a source for $8/lb PLS.Gonna try tomorrow. That area was browntop millet last year and I mowed it short then hit it with herbicide. Its alot of bare dirt with some short stubble. I should be able to easily mow it while waiting on the switchgrass to show. Ill eventually plant clear to the road 50 yards to the right. Want to do some experimenting since this stuff is so expensive.

I was looking into using Quincloric but I couldn’t find a straight answer on what it would do to new emerging switch seedlings. I have a 2nd year stand that I overseeded with more Kanlow but has a Foxtail issue.How many ounces of Quinclorac per gallon of water do you use?

So I sprayed my switchgrass patches with 2 4 d in early May. Havent seen any little switch popping up. One of my patches has been under water for the better part of 2 weeks and probably has another week to go. Is it a lost cause? Trying to decide if I should plant some browntop millet in there when the water comes off.
