Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | Some friends of mine planted some RR here this spring. Left a test plot on one end the width of the sprayer boom, probably 200' long that they didn't spray. The pigweed and lambsquarter was 3' tall when they cut it. I was amazed at how many weeds were in it. The rest of the field was perfectly clean. The whole field looks very nice. I'd like to have seen them spray a small area with conventional (we are using 2,4-DB and Raptor mix) seedling alfalfa herbicide to see if and how much injury there is with a conventional program. UC Davis is supposed to be doing just that this year, if there is a good yield boost with RR it would look a lot more attractive.
I have a quackgrass problem on my home place, thinking maybe RR might be the ticket there. Then I was thinking about spot spraying around field edges and how easy that would become, esp since I have seen a lot of morningglory showing up around the area. | |
