Help me understand the timing here since my field looks so similar to all the foxtail. I really would like to get this right so I'm not spending another few hundred on switch seed next fall. You sprayed the foxtail in the fall then seeded in the Switch in November. Sprayed with simazine and...

That photo looks almost identical to what I was looking at in early August. If I had been plating foxtail, it would have looked like I knew what I was doing! I'll plan on a mix of CIR and kanlow late this fall. Hopefully next fall I'll have a successful switch plot to share. Thanks for the help.

Based on the responses, my plan is to broadcast switch (mix of CIR and Kanlow) in November. I'll hit it with atrazine and simazine in early spring and gly/2,4-d at Spring green-up. One follow-up question. The area I sprayed this weekend where the switch will be planted is going to have a...
