What is Your Spring Spraying Regimen?

mercredi 22 février 2017

Grass hay here - mostly timothy and a new field recovered with it's native mixed grass.

Since I don't use chemicals with residuals, I've been thinking about spraying twice. Early with 2,4-d ester or Weedmaster and later with Pasturegard. They would be spaced apart and sprayed such that the timing wouldn't preclude cutting the hay when it's ready.

Obviously the goal of spraying is to kill down weeds, but to also take advantage of any pre-emergent qualities of the herbicide to suppress summer annuals to the extent possible for a clean first cut.
