Spraying young Klein grass

[callmefence]

Finally got a week of dryer weather in the forecast. Finally going to get to spray. I've got a new field of Klein grass just up. 2" _4" tall with 2 _ 4 blades. Annual broomweed is getting pretty big. I'm considering spraying with a quart of 24d. Should take care of the broomweed. I'm a little concerned about the young grass though. My other though is to shred it short to set the weeds back until the grass gets a little bigger. Any opinions?
Thanks

I had the same situation a few years ago with B-Dahl, I was cautioned from NRCS not to spray too soon after sprouting, I decided to clip the weeds and spray when more mature. NRCS does not recommend planting after May 31 because of moisture and summer setting in. As costly as seeds are I would not risk killing any plants I would clip then spray. :cboy:

If I decided to spray, i would not spray as strong. Maybe a pint or 1 1/4 pint per acre. Clipping to me just delays the problem.
