[QUOTE="littletom, post: 1732557, member: 23522"] It depends on the tobacco farmer. I have put grass in September right behind tobacco with great success. I have seen the years long ordeals posted about. I use spartan and command on my tobacco. Spartan doesnt affect the new grass. Command if farmer overlaped or put over rate that grass will come up then turn yellow about 2 weeks after it comes up. But usually only that first fall right behind tobacco. Might have very few little strips behind me. Following spring you will be fine. Some growth retardents are hard on the ground. Mostly used at high rates on dark tobacco. Now the bad one is Prowl. It lays in the ground for years longer than most anyone would admit. In my opinion it is outdated and would never be in my program. However some people here do use it to control crabgrass in pure orchard grass fields. It will take time and more redrilling. If you are already working it i would just seed it at a higher rate than drilling it. Just work it seed it roll it down. then drill in the fall if you need too. Fert. I would soil test. Most tobacco is over fertilized and has alot of carry over. But we run very high rates of N which is really hard on ph you very well may need lime. [/QUOTE]
