Wanting advice, have a neglected hay field. Has lots of weeds. Could I spray 2-4-D and fertilize next spring. ? Other suggestions?
Many of the weeds we encounter will be sprouted in the fall. The clover will be pretty well dormant by then and the spray won't hurt it.I would mix some Crossbow or Remedy in with the 2-4-D. I hate going to the trouble spraying and not get a good kill. Also as KT said spray next year to get the seeds and slick off the field. The spray can put somewhat of a hurting on clover so consider that
Yea I mowed it going to bale, weeds and all.Does depend on what the hayfield is....but for clean spring hay you need to spray in the spring. Spraying now will clean it up for the fall. Either way, you need to get the "trash" off in the fall so it won't be their in the spring.
Crossbow is a mixture of 24D ( 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid 34.4%)) andI would mix some Crossbow or Remedy in with the 2-4-D. I hate going to the trouble spraying and not get a good kill.

Well, you're not the first, and if you have a baler with crop cutter, you're probably not going to see much difference in intake.Yea I mowed it going to bale, weeds and all.
Duracor ($95/gal) with Dawn suffacant totally got rid of all burrs (but not Johnson grass - this was my first time to use it --- will use it again next season) ... 2-4D had no lasting power ...

80.00 at browns.Duracor's active ingredient is Rinskor® (FLORPYRAUXIFEN-BENZYL).
Something new. Unrestricted herbicide. $95/gal is not bad but how much is required per acre
specimen label?
Hello. You really don't have to spray. Farmed my entire life and if you simply mow consistently the weeds will lose energy.Wanting advice, have a neglected hay field. Has lots of weeds. Could I spray 2-4-D and fertilize next spring. ? Other suggestions?
Additionally, you may want to seed. I would soil test as well.Hello. You really don't have to spray. Farmed my entire life and if you simply mow consistently the weeds will lose energy.
In the long run, the good things you will avoid killing off will benefit your field and soil.
There is one. It's called a goat, lol.Why can't Texas A&M come up with a genetically modified cow that enjoys eating weeds and weesatch? If we can land a man on the moon we can surely do that. That's just common sense.
It was 66 years from the Wright bros 1st flight to the 1st moon landing!!!If we can land a man on the moon we can surely do that. That's just common sense.
