using 2-4d- ester for round-up soybeans our seedman wants us to wait at least 10 days to no-till beans. How many days does everybody else wait in between spraying 2-4d- ester and planting soybeans
At least 10 days wait -- 14 is better. The quicker you get a rain after application, the longer you should wait. Delayed rainfall will result in more volatility loss which means there is less to move into the soil. I think the label says to wait 30 days if you use as much as 1 quart per acre. The 10-14 days is at the 1 pint rate. If you plant too soon, you may still get a good stand, but the beans won't grow off right. Dig them up and you will find that the 2,4-D has stunted the root system. Don't ask me how I know, but I will tell you that I planted 7 days after a 2,4-D/Scepter combo once. |
