herbicides ARE pesticides
A pesticide is any substance used to kill, repel, or control certain forms of plant or animal life that are considered to be pests. Pesticides include herbicides for destroying weeds and other unwanted vegetation, insecticides for controlling a wide variety of insects...
crop oil generally not recommended for glyphosate unless mixing with another product that recommends crop oil on label. non-ionic surfactant generally used with gly(many gly formulations already contain NIS). Not a farmer - just read labels
I have the 16 gal northstar. First thing I did was put 10 gals (measured) of water in the tank. Mount the sprayer on the vehicle you intend to use and sit on it while spraying so you know the height of the nozzle (which determines the width).Turn the sprayer on and see how many minutes it takes...
One "drop" of gly at 1% concentration lands on a leaf with 1 "drop" of dew on it means you are effectively spraying at 1/2%. Same units of herbicide per acre yes but at half the concentration. Some hard to kill weeds require less gallons of water per unit of herbicide. Do what works for you is...
A plant senescing, or preparing for dormancy is a little different than a rapidly growing plant which is what we should be attempting to control with spraying. Transpiration, what an actively growing plant does, is going the other way. Dew in and of itself doesn't appear to negatively affect...
High humidity is certainly good for translocation and absorption. I prefer to spray just after dew has dried off. Only moisture I want on the leaf is herbicide.
Chemical weed and grass control - Broadleaf weeds including pigweed, ragweed, coffeeweed and others may become problematic in food plots as well as weedy grasses such as crabgrass, signalgrass, panicums, johnsongrass, etc. If a height differential exists between weeds and the clover, glyphosate...
Durana is all that you say about it. I have three plots in it now. My observation in addition to yours is that on my property deer seem to prefer Med Red over the Durana. I seem to get more use on the Durana with the lactating does and their fawns but my plots with the med red are nearly...
Crossbows do not require the same level of "skill" and commitment as a compound. Compounds do not require the same level of "skill "and commitment as a recurve. They are all archery.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I just get so tired of some who make the point that crossbows don't require the same level of 'skill' or commitment that a compound bow does. As one who hunts with both I can assure you there is no argument as far as that is concerned. Where I have the problem is...
Why do you stop your "skill" argument with a modern compound bow? I have shot way more deer with my compound bow than I have with my recurve crossbow or my compound crossbow for that matter. I get just as close, just as quiet and do just as much scouting as I did when I was compound bow hunting...
I don't care what you hunt with on your property. Can I get the same respect? Or do you think I am going to kill YOUR deer on my property with my "crossgun" during archery season.
The farmer that leases a field just on top of that rise to the left in the last picture planted barley last fall as a cover crop. He had both bearded and awnless varieties in different parts of the 45 acres. When they headed out in late spring-early summer the deer destroyed the heads of the...
Wanted to give an update: Broadcast winter wheat, diakon radish and crimson clover on 8/30. Took CnC's advise and just drug with a chain harrow after seeding.
Got 1 fair rain then nothing since. 10 days after seeding
Took this yesterday
With the lack of rain it's not looking bad.
Got a pretty good kill on everything but this Not really sure what it is was thinking about hitting it with some 2,4D.
Should I use a higher rate of seed? Don't want to get too much WR and choke the clover out. I guess I could always come back with some WR later if it's too light.
Sent from my...
Got a soil test and added recommended fertilizer. Can't add lime this year because I have to get 8 tons to have it delivered and spread and this area is only about 1 acre and the recommended amount is 2 1/2 tons. PH is 5.6. I want to put winter rye and red clover in about Sept 1, weather...

Just got through researching this myself. Turns out my 2,4D amine was NOT compatible with my roundup. Wondered why the 2,4D label made no mention of mixing with Gly. Apparently the ester is the 2,4D that is mostly mixed...
Extension weed control recommendations in some states include the use of low rates of 2,4-D amine (1pt/A or less) on well established stands of perennial white clover to control/suppress many broadleaf weeds when they are less than 3 inches in height. (Consult with the local university extension...
