It was suggested to me in a hay field to spray it this fall to control a type of vine. Field was pastured after first cutting and then mowed at about 6-8" height. How long after mowing would be best to spray?
Spraying after mowing?

when you see a lot new growth on the plants you want to kill. spraying after mowing and no leaf surface is wasting money
Unless it's a fall growing vine, spraying this late in the year will only kill this years new growth. It won;t affect next years if the vine is an annual, like field bind weed, etc. For here a 2 week wait after mowing works well(that's earlier in the year than fall), but that is for annual weeds, we use Grazon P+D.
Don't know what type of vine you are referring to??? some plants like Blackberry if you mow them it just makes them have a lot bigger root system and then they are harder to kill. I do know a man that will mow Blackberry vines down then go right in behind the mower ,within hours, and spray them and gets a good kill. He is spraying when the plant has the fresh wound

Don't remember what local place told me the vine was called but said a fall spray was good for it because it grows during the winter said I would have a cleaner field next year if I did a fall and spring spraying.dun":3r3ctvbh said:

Try to find out the specifics. Need a name on the vine, or just post a picture and maybe someone can tell you what it is.

At the prices blackberries bring your sitting on a gold mine there. 40 acres might be enough to carry you through this downturn on cows.

for a 300 gal. tank putting out 10 gal per acre I use
30 oz. Plotter
30 pts. Remedy
60 oz. Interlock
60 oz. Inergy
for a 25 gal. spot sprayer doing fencerows
1 qt. Grazon P&D
1 PT. Remedy

for all of you Blackberry pickers I have another 80 acre that has piles of them on it if you can make any money off them you are welcome to them. Here in Okla. blackberry and red cedar will take a place over fast. I could find you hundreds of acres to pick blackberries on.
they a very hand to get rid of if they have been there for a while and even harder if they were mowed

Let us know next spring how it works. I have always had better luck with blackberry vines spraying in the spring when they start to flower. I use Surmount. I have never tried spraying in the fall.

Hey, Bryant. Why aren't you picking them, or having them picked? Blackberries are a valuable resource if they are in good enough condition to retail. I'm pretty sure they have to be fertilized and cared for though, just like any other crop.
You people that think they have a marketabilty obviously don;t have the dam things coming out your ears. I never have cared to eat them and got awfully tired of spending several hours a day picking them for weeks when I was a kid. I now kill every one I can. If the wife wants some I send her to a neighbor that doesn;t kill them and let her pick them to her hearts content, as long as she doesn;t expect me to eat the nasty thingsgaryws":2a1lqrx8 said:

I mowed down about two acres last year after they were dead for the year. We have enough growing along the edges of the trees to get all we want to eat.

I have and uncle that worked with a gas co. on there right aways that was telling me I could get better kill spraying them in the fall when the sap is going down. You need the spray in the roots so I tried it last year and got a very good kill. last year I sprayer with a spot sprayer and sprayed big patches that were to big to drive through. Ever thing I am spraying this year is under 4' I am using a little different mixture that a chemical sales co. recommended, the sales rep. also said the same thing about fall spraying. If I can remember I will see about taking some pictures of some of the big patches I sprayed last year
Using Surmount I haven;t noticed any one time of the year better than others. I've sprayed in spring, when they are blooming and late summer. Same results. The stuff dies and is gone and hasn;t come back in several years since.BRYANT":17tz0t21 said:
