Subject: RE: Row Crop Cultivating Poll



Central Nebraska

Good question.....for the most part we try to time cultivation so that we only go one time and do it right before canopy.....and then hope we don't get a rain on it so that grass doesn't grow.  There has been a time or two where we have had to hit fields a second time (it goes real fast) because an untimely rain happened.  When we do seed corn we have to cultivate it a bit earlier than we like because inbreds tend to be a brittle so we do put Warrant down after that.  The worst cultivating disaster I've had was a few years ago.  The previous years crop had been hailed to the ground in June and I chose not to replant it and also mismanaged 40 acres that were a waterhemp jungle.  In 2023 I planted beans.  I managed it with my regular Xtend program but instead of spraying it twice with Xtend or Liberty I choose to cultivate it 3 times.  Basically we hit it once a week beginning June 15.  The field was spotless through harvest and has been in corn since.
