I'm going to drill some Northwoods Whitetails Sorghum in the next few weeks. Reading their info on planting says to use a pre-emergent (Simazine or Atrazine).......and I have never used one in the past. This will be less than 1/2 acre total in some strips in my plots in order to provide some vertical cover and to break up the plots. I'd like to be successful with this, so I am trying to follow their instructions.
Nuked my areas with glyphosate a week ago. Now waiting on my new sprayer to replace my POS sprayer. Ordered a jug of Simazine from Keystone as my pre-emergent. First read on this says 1 to 1.5 qts / acre......but I have read some do a higher rate. Much of my planting will be into a clover plot(s), where I have had problems with the clover out-competing the following crops.....even after killing it with glyphosate (clover comes back fast!). Thus my interest with pre-emergents.
My plan is to again nuke my clover area's when applying the Simazine.....hoping for a weed free start on the Sorghum.
My question becomes.....will the clover and rye I broadcast again in fall (Sept) be affected by the Simazine I put down now?
