[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5568964, member: 2474"] For the first time ever my clover plots are full of Poa Annua. When I say full I mean nearly solid. This past year appears to have been a perfect storm . Late summer & early fall drought; no acorns which led to intense pressure on what little clover was there; -4 degree cold snap; and now with excessive rain and near record early warmth, I've got a mess. Know I can kill with Clethodim, but with 20+ plots in clover and the cost, I'm not sure I have enough clover left to warrant it. While some of clover was re-done last couple years, others are several years old. Usually frost seeding thin spots by now but poa is so thick it wouldn't make it to soil. Don't really have a plan right now which is highly unusual for me.... Thinking about just waiting & see how much clover bounces back & adjust accordingly. May be a major overhaul year. Have been trying to pull plugs for soil test for all 41 plots (clover & annual) for past 3 weeks, but too darn wet. It's been years since have done some of them so decided to bite the bullet, & do all. Had 150T of lime spread last summer so that's done. Looks like 2022 frustrations are rolling over to 2023...
