The chemical companies have been preaching “overlapping residuals” to us for a while now, saying not to let more than 3-4 weeks pass between applications. If I spray my pre early, then my post is due about planting time.
Unless I accept going to a 3 pass program, spraying the pre right after the planter gives me the most potential to make it to canopy while still having residual activity and using a 2 pass program.
BASF says Zidua Pro is fine on planted beans as long as they aren’t emerged, so that’s what I did. If it’s not fine, then I’ll ask them to compensate me, and I’ll not use it anymore. This is why I came on here asking for others’ experiences. I am not a weed and chemical scientist, so I tend to trust what the companies say. I agree with what JD4230 said most of the time it's ok, but I will say most of the time when we have had damage was when it was cold and wetter like we've turn to now. Even with the damage I don't think we've ever had to replant but I think yours looks worse. Luckily, it's early and hopefully they'll come out of it. |
