Clover

Habitat1 said:
If I had some 2nd and 3rd year clover that could use a boost and I'm seeing plenty of broadleaf weeds getting started, would it be a good plan to spread some clover seed and then spray a light dose of gly? Seeing quite a bit of rain in the 10 day and thought that could get the new seed going and the lighter gly spraying would kill broadleaf without killing older clover. Or do I just let it all go/grow and mow for broadleafs as the year goes?

If you don't have open soil, throwing seed is a waste of time. Personally, I'd just mow the broadleaf weeds.

Then lightly disc or till in the fall, seed with cereal rye and clover seed. Pack back in.

First my disclaimer. I'm not near as good at this stuff as others on here. In my clover plots I spray clethodim for grasses and 2,4,D B for broadleaf, in established plots and have had good results. It does not kill the clover. BUT be careful to use 2,4,D, B (note the "B"). Normal 2,4,D will kill the clover. I mix them in the same application with crop oil most of the time.

If you don’t have a lot of a grass then just try mowing the clover & broadleafs it works for me . Grasses are a different story you have to spray for them if not bad you can spot spray.

Do you know if I got a clover alfalfa mix if this would kill the alfalfa?

No problem. Alfalfa & clover can be treated the same way. 2,4-D-B is great for both.

I know there’s some newer herbicides meant to cover grass & broadleaves. I need to figure out which ones are effective. I know there’s one that a few folks have used (it’s not imox) that was supposed to be good. Post up if anyone knows that newer herbicide that covers grass & broadleaves.

Planting clover with brillion. I don't like drilling clover on 7.5 rows so I do clover conventionally. Loving the brillion!

Brillion makes great pieces of equipment. Love my PP6 pulverizer. Not a cheap ATV tool by any means..

Clover, brassicas, switchgrass, etc.. No problem. Leaves a great seedbed.

Mud scraper option is worth it IMO.

Trying to clean up my clover since we are getting some good rains. I am going to mow and let it start to grow back and then spray. What is everyone having better results with, Imox or 2,4-d-b? What rates are you using with both and are you using a surfactant, if so, how much? Can you mix clethodim with them or spray separate?

If you have a grass problem just use clethodim for broadleaf if not to bad I just mow . Grasses are your worst enemy.

Agree on above!!!. Spray it before clipping. Clethodim & crop oil needs more stem surface area to absorb it. Spray- wait a few days & clip it. Later on hit it with 2,4-d-b if clipping didn’t get u results u want.

Remember you need to know you can’t plant some food plot seed right away after using 2 4 D roundup wait three or four days is find . I’ve actually planted two days after using roundup. I know label saids longer .

Question on clethodim. I sprayed my 1/2 acre food plot the other day, got about 75% through my tank and realized I forgot to put the freakin crop oil in (left it at home). Do you think it will still work? I put 15 gallons on so definitely spread it thick.

Yes you should still get a kill .

Clethodim is slow too kill so give it plenty of time.

I checked it last night and seems to be working. Plenty dead in some spots and definitely browning up in others. The bummer is my frost seeded clover isn't really coming up, must've gotten too shaded out or else didn't get good seed to soil contact. Looks like I will be starting over this fall.
