Brazilton KS

I have sprayed a field which looked almost like that.  It was double crop conventional beans and I was rained out the day it was planted and two days later.  Sprayed the third day between two rains...sprayed from about midnight to 4 am and rutted the whole field.  My analysis at the time was that I could afford to lose the % that was emerged if I cleaned up the field without having to beat it to death with post products. 

 

It didn't really work.  Didn't seem to do much damage to the beans.  Killed the grass pretty well.  Damaged the cocklebur.  Pigweed was fine after a week of recovery time.     I guess I can't call it a failure because cleaning up the grass with select would have ran into the double digits.  12 oz of Blazer and 1/3 oz Syncrony  two weeks later cleaned up the pigweed and burrs.  Beans made.  It was an example of doing everything wrong as far as the glyphosate application went.....running all night long with dew on and rain before 11am the next day.
