I have alot of foxtail still in my SG...I have some Oust, should I spray it this fall or would it be better to hold off untill spring? Do I supplement the Oust with something or just use Oust? Thanks

Refresh my memory please, when can I spray Oust? Only when SG is dormant? How soon prior in spring? Thanks Dbltree

Looks like I might of missed the boat for spraying Oust on a 3 yr old SG field by looking at some of the previous posts? I was overrun with foxtail last year! So right now the field is mainly matted down foxtail, I was gonna frost seed some more SG but didnt b/c was planning on spraying the...

Nice looking Dbltree! On a avg year when does the SG go dormant so I can spray my Oust for the foxtail... I'm getting overrun by it :mad: Thanks

I was gonna order some from Townsend now, would I need any Gly or crop oil too? Or just the Oust XP do the job this fall? It's a small area only 2-3ac Thanks again for all the help!

dbltree, I have alot of foxtail in my 2nd year stand of SG, I have been contolling the broadleafs with 2,4-D. I wanted to frost seed in some more Switch late winter/spring for some of the bare spots. Would you recommend just leaving it until the SG goes dormant this fall and spray it with...

Thanks dbltree, If I remember right I can use Atrazine anytime in the year?..or not?

What can I spray this time of the year for a 2nd year planting of SG? I sprayed round up the 2nd week of April but I have some broad leaves and foxtail coming up now. Also the SG is kinda spotty...anything I can do about that? Thanks!

I'm in Nw WI, I did the Atrazine last summer and mowed it a bunch of times. I started to see some plants here with seed heads on them late in the fall. The are floods but there is no "run off" it just pools there till it soaks in the ground, so it might work doing it before the spring melts...

Also the area I have it planted in floods every spring from the snow runoff. I probably should wait till after that? I suppose that close to spring it wouldn't benifit anyways??

Hi, I was gonnna frost seed some cir switch in a existing 1 yr old stand to try and get it a little "fuller". There's prob about 10" of crusty snow on the area now. Question is should I go ahead and broadcast it now or hold off awhile? Also what would you seed it at? 3-4# ac? Thanks...

Thanks dbltree & whitetail addict for all your help!

It would be highly unlikely for it to be a foot tall already after 2 months wouldn't it? Does SG have a purple stem near the dirt? I'll send you some pics later today dbltree...thanks!

First time posting here, gotta say nice right up on the switchgrass! Lots of good info. I'm currently trying to establish some 1st yr SG and after reading the posts I was wondering if SG is the only plant to have "white hairs" where the leaves meet the stem? I have alot of plants that do and...
