Fall 2015 Chemical Applications
THE EASIEST WAY TO CONTROL ROUNDUP RESISTANT WATER HEMP AND PALMER AMARANTH IS TO NEVER LET IT COME UP!
Fall program for 2016 soybean planting.
After the soil cools in the fall is a good time to apply residual herbicides for control of winter annual weeds, downy brome and volunteer wheat, and marestail. After Nov 1, apply 1.1 oz Cloak with 12 oz of Dicamba. Add 32 oz 4# glyphosate as needed to control emerged downy brome or volunteer wheat. The Cloak and Dicamba should do a good job of controlling the winter annuals and marestail. DO NOT DELAY THIS APPLICATION! The temperature can be cold enough after Thanksgiving to stop chemical and water applications.
Springtime of 2016, apply 4 oz Authority XL around April 15. If the weather works right, this will keep the soil fairly weed free until right before planting.
One week before planting, spray five ounces of Verdict with 10 Metro and glyphosate if needed, for burndown and residual, with 1 ounce of Zidua. If this program works well, glyphosate would be needed only to clean up the beans in crop.
HIGH PH SOILS. After November 1, use 5 ounces of Tricor with 12 ounces of Dicamba. The April 15 treatment would be 3.2 ounces of Authority First. Do not use products containing Classic on high PH soils! One week before planting, use 5 ounces of Verdict with 10 ounces of Metro, and glyphosate as needed for grasses, along with 1 ounce of Zidua. Once again, glyphosate would be used in crop on a clean up basis!
FALL PROGRAM FOR 2016 CORN OR MILO PLANTING
After the soils cool in the fall, apply 1.5# atrazine with 12 oz Dicamba. This should give control of winter annuals and marestail, add glyphosate as needed. This application should be made as soon as possible after the first of November, before the temperature get too cold for chemical and water applications.
This treatment should give good control until around corn planting time. With milo, it will probably take one or two more trips with herbicide to be able to plant in a clean seed bed.
PLANTING CORN OR SOYBEANS BUT DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE? Fall apply 5 oz Tricor with 12 oz Dicamba. The field is open to either soybeans or corn in the spring. This is also recommended for fall application for subsequent spring planting of beans on ground that is over 6.8 PH.
MILO SPRING TIME CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS
If needed, around April 15 make a glyphosate and Metro application to control any growing weeds. One week before planting, apply 10 oz Verdict with 10 oz Metro, glyphosate as needed, along with 1.5 quarts of atrazine. This application will serve as a burndown, and also for the needed residual control in milo.
