clover and bean plots

[flugge]

I cleared about a 2 acre patch to plant both clover and beans. I however have a bunch of weeds coming up in both since this is a new plot. We had a lack of rain so nothing took off real good this spring, but now everything is popping good. What should I go in and spray with (would like to do both with one spray if possible) Any help or direction would be great, I would like to get the weeds knocked down asap..but 4 inches of rain today will hurt that a little bit

Depends on what the weeds are. If its mostly grass you can spray clethodim with crop oil, if its mostly broadleaf you could spray butyrac (2-4db) on the clover only. Its a good chance your soybeans are roundup ready, if that't the case I would hit that with glyphosate. If you dont know, just spray a little area and what a week, see if it kills them. You could even get by spraying clover with glyphosate but I have never had the nerve to try it.

Like above said- u will need to do different sprays.
If it were me- I'd take the time to do it right. Gly for beans.
Clover... Depends on weeds, like above said - 2,4d-b for broadleaf (butyrac) and seperate tank (don't mix in same tank) of clethodim & crop oil for grass. I'd consider mowing as well. Good luck.

Thanks for the help guys. I am fine with spraying two different sprays if needed. It is broadleaf issues I am having, as it was an old pine tree bed that got tilled under and now just that. No grass...yet...ha... so again, thanks guys!!

Make sure you hit the clover soon if you are going to do the 2,4d-b. It works best on weeds when they are small.
