24-d and clover

[skyhightree1]

how long before i can plant clover on a newly sprayed spot with 24-d ?

I'd guess right away.

From recommendations I've seen depending on the rate of application it runs 3-5 days all the way to 7-14 days. I've alwasy just waited a week to 10 days with all herbicides othr then Grazon.

Gotcha my plans are lightly disc up a few areas where scratches up the dirt a lil bit burn it really good with 24d then wait disc up a lil more then cover with ky31 and ladino clover but I tell ya I may not plant clover I plant my ky 31 so heavy it chokes out weeds and clover thats what it seems I will have to do to keep weeds at bay.

Clover planted too heavily can choke out even fescue, I have one field that it happened in. As the clover petered out over the years the fescue is coming back but the weeds are coming back even better

Dun, This pasture is truly covered in fescue with some bigs of clover do you think i should saturate the area which is about 20 feet wide and 30 feet long with clover and not add any fescue just so the cattle have a good amount of clover they can munch on since most of the pasture is ky31 and some orchard grass?

Isn't it getting a tad late in the year to plant clover?

I'm spraying some new growth white clover with 2-4-d ester really heavy and not having a problem. I would plant now.

I generally plant clover here until beginning of may never really had an issue.

I would just do the clover and after the fescue is eaten down the clover should be able to take off pretty well, IF you get enough rain

Thanks dun I will go get about 12 lbs of clover and put it in that area lol that should be enough to choke any weeds out... Hopefully

Agree with TennesseeTuxedo I was told not to plant clover past the first of April or within 30 days of spraying but that's just my :2cents:. I planted 2 pounds of red and four pounds of white per acre. But do what works best for you in your area.

Really? whenever I overseed I plant atleast 15 lbs per acre of cinnamon and ladino but not sure why cause i burn it and kill it.

I might be planting the minimum not real sure.

 

[skyhightree1]

I just try to do 3 or 4 times the minimum because not all seeds will germinate so thats what I do good bad or indifferent lol

 

[JenkinsFarm7]

No problem.Ive seen some of your fields and it looks like you definitely know what you're doing. More than me.

 

[skyhightree1]

lol no I just probably have more time on my hands for trial and error... Once I get weeds under control I normally saturate the field with grass seed and clover which can take a few years to do so.
