| Hey guys..
Here is my original post

I went to a seed meeting last night, and they had a guest speaker on covers for a segment of it.
Off to the side when meeting was over, I asked if he was seeing the beans planted in cereal rye was shorter or behind, versus the beans planted conv or regular not till.
He agreed, that yes, it was quite common this year. We discussed my methods and "pre's" . He seemed to think that my DuPont "Envive" was some of my culprit, meaning that it was the chemical that soaked into the residue, then slow released and stunted the beans.
I would have thought 3-4 weeks and even a little more ahead, with plenty of rain, would have washed everything in ????
What do you guys think ?....I know this is one reason I stopped using ValorXLT, with my non covers no till pre's as I thought it was plenty "hot" and would get some dampening off on emergence. I could get them to neck through, then I would loose them. I loved that chemical as far as weed control though...one of my better arsenals, and made very clean fields, so I am not condemning the product.
Any ideas that I could use for a "safer" PRE ? in the place of Envive, or Valor / Valor XLT. I will be going 1/2 my acres to Liberty for next year, especially on my sandy / gravel dirt, where my marestail and giant rag pressure is greater.
Also with the late rains we have received, the beans have leveled out....quite a bit, but doing some pod counts they were about no more than 20 behind, more like 10 on an average, but very obvious when comparing plant to plant.
Thanks in advance
