REVENGE SPRAYING
We like to see large
weeds curled and dying
after a spray treatment.
There's more evidence
that we've accomplished
something. We also feel
that we've achieved
satisfactory revenge for
the threat to our crop.
An earlier spraying
could have achieved the
same ki!l. The dead
weeds would be less
evident because they
were killed at an earlier
stage. However, they'd
still be dead and the
developing grain foliage
would smother out late
germinating weeds.
Too often we are late in
spraying. Late spraying
has two drawbacks. It is
the early germinating
weeds which have the
greatest influence on
crop yield. We've got to
remove them while
they're small. Secondly,
we cause physical and
chemical damage to the
crop when we spray late.
Cereals become less
resistant to 2, 4-D sprays
after the six leaf stage.
It's important to spray as
early as possible but no
later than this stage.
The weeds and the crop
must be considered in
deciding when to spray.
The weeds must be
emerged from the soil
and the crop should have
two to five leaves, not
counting any tiller
leaves. The crop is
usually about three in-
ches to four inches high at
this stage.
The standard spray
treatn-lent is either 2, 4-D,

HOURS: Monday through Saturday, 9

To keep quackgrass down,
you have to let it grow up.
Before you till quackgrass
this spring, let it grow
until it's at least 8 inches high.
Then, apply Roundup®.
You really can get ready to ckontrol quackgrass
by letting it grow undisturbed this spring. Don't
touch it or till it, until it's actively growing and
most weeds are 8 inches high —(3 to 4 leaf
stage). Then, apply Roundup herbicide by
Monsanto.
Tillage may break up and spread live
rhizomes throughout your field and all plants
may not re -grow to the proper stage in time
for treatment with Roundup. Roundup, however,
controls emerged quackgrass above and
below ground, when used properly.
Roundup is so effective, that many
farmers, using it as the keystone of their
quackgrass control programs, have been
able to achieve manageable control for
up to 3 years after one application. And
since Roundup has no residual soil activity,
you can till and plant wheat, oats, barley,
corn or soybeans only 5 days after treatment,
without risk of crop injury.
In those infested fields you plowed last fall,
quackgrass may not be ready for Roundup
before planting. If so, we recommend you wait to
apply Roundup as a spot treatment in the crop —
or after harvest, when quackgrass has regrown to
the proper stage.
See your dealer soon about Roundup.
Roundup controls quackgrass —but you have to
let it grow up a little bit first.
