TCF9120 - 5/31/2016 00:09 Had the same thing happen with Sonic two years ago. It was a bad deal and ended up replanting at least a third of our total bean acres. Many of those bean pre's are great under the right conditions but under the wrong conditions friendly fire would be an understatement.
If you put the sulfentrazone on a couple weeks before planting and get a rain on it, it's perfectly safe.
Not!
IF you have any higher PH or ANY remotely coarse soil you'll have trouble. Had a field in 2014 that had authority maxx which
(contained the double whammy of classic and sulfentrazone
) applied 3 weeks prior to planting and received 4" of rain between app and planting. Those chemicals laid right around 2.5" deep and worked on those plants ALL year. 75 to 85K stand remaining. Beans never got over mid calf high.
Another tip: Just because you have a stand doesn't mean you'll grow a crop. That chemical will work on this plants for awhile. "They have been shot in knee cap"
In your case I'd rip it up and replant. I didn't and regretted it as I followed the agronomist's rec which was solely based on stand count.
Check out my posts from 2014.
You are correct. I didn't go into the sandy soil and high pH because that is spelled out on the label. Cut the rates on those soils, esp the sandy soils, wait for a rain, and you'll be fine.
What's wrong with these beans?
