Ok so I tried to do everything right this year. I planted 8 acre of pure Extend orchard grass, I drilled it in at 16lbs per acre. I sprayed round up 2 weeks before and had a good kill except I should of put some 2,4D in for the clover. Planted on Aug 16th was previously dry and continued to be dry for almost 3 weeks with temps in the 90s so it sprouted and dried up along with garlic and some broadleafs coming up. Crop man looked at it said it defently dried up. Said to late to try this year! His recommendation was 2,4D now and start over in the spring.
What is you guys thoughts? I really want to get a nice stand of orchard in this field. I've tried it 3 times and same thing has happened now. Weather drys up. Always been told I need to be planted by Aug 15th here. We got about 2" of rain11th and 12th of sept I think that was the 2 days anyways
I ended up spraying the field tonight with 1 pint of 2,4D/ac an about gallon of round up. So does anyone thing I can still squeeze by trying to reseed in 2 weeks which would be at oct 1st. Oh and yes I have limed it 2 years back per soil sample and have been applying the proper amount of fertilizer per year.
Thanks all
New Seeding of Orchard Grass Dried Up now what?
