[QUOTE="east_tex, post: 1495881, member: 17335"] A field in Walker County Texas was once coastal Bermuda. A ten acre section of it has been cleared of persimmon saplings with a root grubber and basal bark treatments of Remedy and diesel. The remaining plants that need to go are greenbriar and smutgrass as well as some easier to get rid of goat weed and dogfennel. Velpar is not an option because of close proximity of the field to oak trees. I don't think a broadcast application of 1 quart or glyphosate will control the greenbriar not sure about the smutgrass. Does it make sense to plow with a moldboard behind the 4020 the disk the sandy loam, roll it firm, and keep cattle off of it for a while with an electric wire. The results of a soil sample should be back in a few days. Will the coastal return? Maybe 50 percent of the ten acres is 75 percent smutgrass. Maybe 30 percent of the ten acres is thick with greenbriar. With the goal of returning the field to coastal for hay and grazing what should I do? Thanks for any comments. [/QUOTE]
