HighDesert - 9/12/2020 14:52 As other poster said, it is off label but I did it this year. I had a cover crop of wheat/barley planted this spring and needed to terminate before planting black beans. I planted my beans green and the next day I went and sprayed 8 oz of 2-4D ester, Roundup, and my pre-emerge. I then turned on the pivot to water in the pre-emerge and beans came up great with no damage. I wouldn't be afraid to go a higher rate next time. I used the soybean label as a guide for the black beans and they recommend 1 week ahead of planting for 8 oz I believe. My understanding is that the ester formation isn't very water soluble so much less risk of it getting down to the germinating seed. Are yours for seed or food? Here, ADM will put the fear of God into ya if you go off label with any chemical. say if contamination gets traced back to me, Im done for. All labeled chemistry for me. |
