[QUOTE="dun, post: 463360, member: 34"] Around 7.5 - 10 lbs per acre based on pure live seed. I usually just stick with 10 lbs and forget about calculating germination and all the other hocuspocus. It depnds on when you spray as to the severity of the clover kill. Before the clover has sprouted it won;t do anything, after the clover has grown well and has toughened some it will set it back pretty bad but won;t kill it comletely. You need to look at pasture improvement as a multi-year process. Seed and fuel are getting too expensive to waste. We have spot sprayed areas that aren't too bad, those that are too weedy or the weeds are to spred out we hit with Grazon P+D in the spring after the grass has sprouted well. In late summer we hit it again with 2,4-d to control the late sprouting weeds. Then in Jan-Feb we frost seed clover. It's work really well for us. BTW, if you have henbit, you'll never really get a good handle on it. Maybe succesive sprayings of Grazon but 2,4-d will just wilt it and it will come back as if it's been fertilized. Seems that even Roundup doesn;t have a lot of affect on it. [/QUOTE]
