I wonder about this herbicide for clover (same as pursuit) It is labeled for clover.

Hmmmmm!!!! Interesting. So- it’s same group & chemical class as Imox…. So similar. But - hopefully better?!?!? Worth a shot for sure!!!! I’d try it for sure. Reply on how it goes if try.

I've got a real problem with smartweed in most of my clover/chicory. Anyone have any experience with Raptor

Have been waiting patiently for my last mowing of clover for the season..have been holding off with this dry weather. I like to clip tops towards the end of August so growth is lush & tender by the October opener. It's a 3 acre plot that has done great even despite the dry spells this summer but I'm hoping for some advice..would you mow this in the next few days? There is actually some soil moisture on the surface if I dig down below the clover thatch so I am hoping I wouldn't be making a mistake given the cooler weather moving forward as well. I will be unable to mow until 9/18 if I don't mow tomorrow or Friday of this week. Thanks

I could go either way on this one. If & when looks extremely likely to get good rain- barely take off the tops. If things continue to be stay dry- I’d personally let it be for the year.
Side note: I was looking at some clover yesterday that I didn’t mow…. It did get mowed- by the deer. They really did do the job of a mower. In cases like that - I kinda think the deer do the work for me.

This is a 2nd year ladino clover plot that looked great a month ago. It completely cooked in the dry heat this last month. I'm not sure if there's enough time left this year to bounce back if the rains come?
That same scenario has me thinking a lot about converting to grazing alfalfa instead. Maybe grow the clover where there is at least some shade.

Had a similar result this year on a 2nd year ladino plot. Ended up tilling and reseeding with oats / rye / clovers. Re-establishing clover stand with a variety to hopefully help survive summer. This area had been farmed by a fly by night type farmer for years, soil all cracking throughout the plot with the drout. I need to build soil bad there!
I had alot of success broadcasting radishes into clover like that last year. Might want to give it a shot if any rain coming.
