South Texas | Put out 6 oz. of Outlook with a pint of Milo Pro on all my milo this year. Did it with the sprayer a day behind the planter. Got 7/10ths two days later - normally that would spell an absolute replant for us on milo (no way to control the grass, and you'll never cultivate it out). Thought i'd wait and see since still had some other fields to plant "the first time". Thinking there's no way this will work, i left a strip in the field to prove to the chemical guys... sure am glad it was just a strip!!

North Central - Texas | Was the sand blowing or did you hoe it get it out of the ground?

N FLA | Isn't outlook similar to prowl? I thought that would inhibit germination. Is milo-pro like atrazine, is it better than atrazine? Why would that mean a replant? Dont you want rain to incorporate the residual herbicides. Not trying to razz you, just learning, we are sorghum rookies in this part of the world, and thats a clean field. What grass weed is it, we use dual on fields with texas millet problems. Your program sounds cheaper. |

Jefferson Co. Florida | That looks great. I need to try outlook. I have used Dual Magnum for the past few years and basically think its a waste. We are strip till so it seems to really inhibit the effectiveness of PRE herbicides. Texas and Fall panicums are our problem and like you if it rains right after planting and the grass gets a head start its all over. I usually run hoods with gramaxone directed and have really good results, as long as the sorghum got out of the ground first. |

South Texas | Sand was blowing... one of those wonderful Sunday mornings when you ought to be in church! Looked like the field was on fire by lunchtime. Rain is a wonderful thing down here, but you better make sure the rotary hoe is ready to go not long afterwards... |

South Texas | Black ground seems very forgiving no matter what we use one the milo, but this sandy field has been a thorn in the side for a long time. You're right on the outlook - I don't remember what the lable rate is, but i do know if you use that much on sandy ground, you won't have a milo crop to worry about. (learned the hard way) I need to go read the label on the milo pro - this was my first year using it. |

South Texas | That's interesting... I've tried it and really like it on corn and cotton, but haven't been able to figure it out for milo yet. Seems like we have to cultivate milo, and all that trash is a nightmare, even with a good single-shank cultivator. Strip till would sure help keep the dirt from blowing so bad. Would be really interested in some more info/pictures if you get time this spring... |

North Carolina | Do any of you get any post activity on grass with atrazine? We use to spray corn years ago over the top and if grass was not too big it would kill it. |

Central Arkansas | You get 40% control of some grasses with atrazine post. Crop oil helps but increases burn on milo. On sandy soil the recommendations I've seen are 1.2 pts 4L with 1 qt. crop oil. I couldn't stand the burn, so cut the oil back to 1 pt., but grass control is hit or miss. There is a label for Facet (quinclorac?) post grass control. It needs good moisture, and is used a lot on rice. |

Raleigh, NC | Tack
Facet is not labeled for use on Milo. The product you are thinking of is Paramount.

N FLA | Thanks, like Pnut says, those are impressive pics, and it sounds like a better/cheaper program than what is used locally. Never seen those chemicals before, but they are on cdms.net |
