Mid Contract CRP herbicide-what and what rate

[MN Slick]

Oddly, the NRCS doesn't provide much guidance but suggested Clethidem at the lowest rate for mid contract maintenance. A light rate of gly was the ticket for contracts in Missouri. What are you guys spraying in Iowa? Burning isn't an option for this year.

Thanks

For MO anyways:

My understanding is they're looking for more early successional plants.

I don't know why they don't just nuke the $hit in strips and be done with it for a couple years then rotate to the other strips in future years....on wait....it''s the implementation of the goverment rules....

I’d run gly & ams on cool seasons either in spring - before the warm seasons are greened up. Or in fall when warm seasons go dormant. MOST stands have some junk cool seasons in them.

Just sharing what the NRCS is having me do in NE on my crp maintenance. Shred in
April or early May, then apply 12oz per acre on the crp after July 15. I'm just wasting my money because of do it by the gov books.
