[QUOTE="cowtrek, post: 289387, member: 2847"] Well, anything is POSSIBLE I guess but that certainly isn't what RU is really supposed to be used for. It might kill some seed that it comes into direct contact with (sprayed onto) but if this was a viable alternative I'm sure the guys at the big M would be thrilled to death to add it to the labeled uses:) LOL Yep moldboarding will bring up some seed from down deep but if you're burying the fresh seed bank on the surface and bringing up some old seed of which maybe only 10-20% may be viable I'd say that's a good swap, especially in taking out the established perennial's root systems in the deal. Most herbicides that have efficacy on perennials work much better on younger or newly sprouted perennials and annuals alike, simply because they have smaller reserves and are growing faster as seedlings. That's why you can usually get by with lower herbicide rates on annuals and germinated perennials versus resprouting perennials. OL JR :) [/QUOTE]
