...plowing in?
Maybe "plowing" is a different term to you than it is to me. Treflan had to be incorporated but not as deeply as with a plow. But it could be disked in and could be worked in deeper than a lot of current PPI products, because it maintains significant vapor pressure in the soil (part of that smell you mention) which inhibits germination of grass seeds and some small-seeded broadleafs.
Used a S tine field cultivator. Spray bar up front and tanks on the tractor. Later I used a C shank field cultivator.
No moldboard plows used much here ever. Some tried a switch plow in heavy pigweed ground to try and flip the seed under. It works with limited success but its so slow that most got parked. |
