It’s probably nearly impossible to come to some conclusion about the outcome of this. There are too many variables in play. It’s early and cold. The.Glyphosate is old. I’ve never had any long enough to know what it shelflife might be, but surely there is a shelf life. I bought it at tractor...

I don't think the bees care about the distribution of plants by type. And, anyhow, I did a couple acres like this a couple years ago. Whatever plant comes from those tiny hard seeds, well, be prepared to wait to see them germinate and flower. Don't give up! For the first two or three years I...

OK. I will try to be more careful from now on!!

It's just my cynical nature. After some consideration I have come to believe we were being played! I checked the calendar to see If it was April Fools Day. I guess it's always 5 o'clock somewhere! I did get to know many of you a lot better! If you are the initiator of a post can you delete...

I think I need to reconsider my thoughts. That's a lot of weed control! With apologies I will retract my statements. Follow the label guidelines.

Clarify? 3.5 gallons of concentrate or 3.5 gallons of finished spray? Concentrate is what comes in the container you buy and mix with, most likely, water. The concentrate and water is the finished spray...

I have no experience with RM43. I was curious after reading your post. I did what I always do before I offer comments on such things. The label I read had glyphosate at 43% and imazapyr at 0.78%. I have used both herbicides individually. To get the total claimed vegetation control after the...

They both have the same chemical structure. Action and half-life are about the same. Use seth like you would cleth. I've used both with similar results. So mine is a price decision. Long ago and far away the two products were in competition for the same purpose. Twist a molecule and you can...

Here in Virginia, a special case for sure, we produce more poultry litter than we can use. Well, we use it all - in some form - and a lot of producers would like to use as much as they can get. It, the poultry litter, comes with some concerns that start with soil chemistry and the eventuality...

Regarding the present soil pH and from reading the posts above it's my opinion (sitting behind a desk and typing on a keyboard) this is not suitable land for growing much of anything. Sometimes you need to read between the lines, lay all the evidence on the table and come to a reasonable...

From a botanical point of view how plants, especially trees, respond to damage is a fascinating subject for me. All plants have hormones directing growth and response to environmental situations. Plant breeders have capitalized on their understanding of this to develop better species varieties...

I don't know. Seed always gets the blame when it doesn't germinate but I never believed it, not a 100% failure. You "planted" 700 lbs which is about 12 million seeds and I don't think birds are the answer either. I could buy lack of moisture at a critical germination time - if it wasn't rye...

That's really curious. Did you spray this field before you planted? Was the seed certified? Or was it just bin-run?

All government is legalized corruption. Both parties, more so which ever one is in power. I just don't understand why either party embraces the characters they do. What's the answer? I don't know but I know the lemmings fell into the sea.

Where do I stand? I don't know. After reading all of the posts I became agitated. My first reaction was to wonder how such a fine group of people have such dim views. I wanted to understand what constitutes a conspiracy theory. I found many explanations, so many it would be easy to pick one...

I guess I don't have a lot to add except to say the same things in a different way. As a kid I didn't know there were 4wd tractors. One reason is a couple tractors only had three wheels! But that's besides the point. In production ag decades ago we had fewer acres of cropland and could wait...

Rather amazing results for an old pasture where no fertilizer has (apparently?) been applied. I am not accustomed to working with excess levels of nutrients.

I think I understand your visions. If I do the answer to your question is "no." Here's what I hear. New ground. Lime the end of April and a buckwheat planting sometime in June. Is it that you want a herbicide to stop any weeds from growing from the time you apply the lime until you can...

As we all know growing corn needs a lot of nutrients. Best practice has different rates of application at different times after (or before) planting. Arguably, nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient. The idea is that a large amount of N should be applied at the time of the corn plants fastest...

Yes I would be surprised if the clover rebounds. But in a thin stand over 5 years old there's not much to lose.
