Roundup Ready Corn & Soybean Food Plot

Sorry on delay … I would spray the second it’s dry…. Pre-emergents & post emergents since I’m sure you have had rain right? If so- u can get new weeds & get in front of other weeds that haven’t germinated as well. U put any pre’s down?
If not- since they are germinated beans- limits u a bit on what to spray but not bad at all. I’d run 2-3 groups of pre-emergents but that’s me. At bare bones…
post: enlist + gly then bare bones 1 pre: s-metolachlor (dual or brawl for example).
If it were mine…. I’d hit it with couple more pre’s & if u want me to list some more I sure can. Don’t wanna overwhelm with a novel here.

I haven't sprayed yet. I did the burn down with gly and 24d.

3 quarts per and 1 qt for the 24d.

It’ll be just fine. Most corn flexes pretty well depending on the hybrid. If u go too heavy for population- u get away with a lot more on good rich ground - or fertile bottom ground- which looks like u have. Junky dry clay u will have more issues. Just make sure you do not skimp on N. If N is really good through out season + all other nutrients done right & ur weed control & rain keeps up- u will be sitting GREAT.

Awesome! I put down 120 lbs N when I planted. The agronomist knew this was a food plot, so he didn’t recommend super high. Now that my pop is so high should I add more?

I would. IMO- agronomist did that for “eah- it’s just a plot, save some $”. If it were mine, I’d spread about 60-80 more lbs of actual N per acre (treated urea). Be ideal to do it later in a month but u could do it now as well.

So I planted my 2 acres of corn this weekend in between rains and was planning to put some pre-emergent down, while emptying my sprayer the nozzle to the tank cracked. So I'm DOA on the pre emergent (atrazine). I won't be back to the property for a few weeks most likely, is there something I can spray at that point that has a decent residual to handle the rest of the growing season? What if I got my sprayer working and could make it down this weekend to spray (a week after working the ground and germinating rains), could I spray gly and atrazine a week post planting?

Was it no till or conventional till?

Conventional tilled to a field that was burned down a few weeks previously.

You have some time. Atrazine has a 12 inch restriction so you are good until the corn is that tall. You could spray roundup pretty much anytime you can get a sprayer over it. I would add dual and callisto if it were me. Just the longer you wait, the bigger the weeds get so it gets tougher to get good coverage and a good kill. How fast and big they come will depend on your weed pressure.

Thanks, the co-op was telling me that status would be an option but that looks pretty expensive. My guess is I have a good month before I need to put something on at this point.
 
Happy Father's Day!

Question. I planted this field in mid-May. Had the neighbor turn it over without herbicide. Time and weather were the reasons. Planted and sprayed two weeks after. These are enlist beans. Two pints per acre of Enlist one and two quarts per acre of Gly. Yesterday, I planted the field again. How long should I wait to spray again?

If it were MINE…. I’d probably spray it now or after a good rain gets new flush of weeds coming up. I personally would add a couple pre’s…. Ask your local coop for a pre-emergent cocktail u can spray in post emergent application…. Like regular Fierce (I believe u can’t do fierce xlt post). Or zidua pro. Or Armezon, etc. One ingredient will likely be s-metolachlor. But that’s just me. U sure can just spray a few sprayings with gly & enlist & be just fine as well. More spraying & more weed pressure is downside. I’d personally spray when weeds are smaller.

Life happened and I finally got around to adding more N. Mistakes were made. That corn is giant! Nothing like walking down rows of 7’ corn trying to hand throw 500lbs of urea. On a positive note, we just got .33” of rain last night. Hopefully enough to incorporate the urea a little. More rain in the forecast for the next few days.
