11. A Little Burndown Madness - a little 2,4-D for the glyphosate resistant horseweed.

A Little Burndown Madness
If you are a no-tiller then you are probably considering your burndown
options for this year. Your burndown herbicides can be applied with your
early pre-plant or separate. However, it is important to have a clean slate for
the up coming planting season. A wooly field interferes with planting and
planting timing. Some of the products that you might want to consider for a
burndown program this coming season are listed in the table below.
Glyphosate or paraquat (Gramoxone inteon) can be applied almost any time
before planting in the spring, however allow 7 to 10 days for glyphosate to do
its job. Due to the widespread occurrence of glyphosate resistant horseweed
(marestail) it is recommended to mix at least 1 pt/A 2,4-D ester with your
burndown. When using 2,4-D at 1 pt/A or less (< 0.5 lb ai/A) you have to
wait 7 days before the planting of soybean. If you use more than 1 pt/A (>0.5
pt ai/A), most labels specify a 30 day preplant interval. Extreme, Canopy
DF, or Canopy EX can only be used before soybean. Simazine can only be
used before corn. Atrazine, Sencor, Scepter, and FirstRate will have some
burndown ability when COC is added to the mix. Always read and follow
pesticide labels.

Yeah! “If I can help the environment in the process, fine, but that’s not my goal.”

Atrazine? pour a little more into the Ogallala.

not that the happy homeowner isn't using a little 2,4-D on their lawn we can't just call out industrial agriculture...
