[QUOTE="Quailman, post: 2032390, member: 1952"] Alright, here's some recommendations for your problems. First off all, I'm very suprised that you are having so many weed issues in such a short time since your plots were established. I have some clover plots that are now 5+ years old that I have never sprayed and have just used mowing 2-3 times per year. Yes, they have a few weeds, but not enough to really cause a problem. Some of them I will spray in the next month with Poast to remove some grass competition, but they are still in good condition. 2 years ago, I had one clover plot that was being choked with some weed and grass competition. In August, when the clover was pretty much dormant but the weeds were growing well, I sprayed the plot with Glyphosate with a light rate of 20 ounces per acre. It killed the weeds/grass, but the clover was fine. I then lightly disked, overseeded with a light rate of clover/wheat, and now it is one of the best plots I have. Now here's my disclaimer: Glyphosate is not labeled for this type of application because it is not a selective herbicide, so it can kill the clover if you over-apply. However, both myself and other people I know have used this techniques with good results. You don't have to disk afterwards. You can just frost seed in February/March if you want. You may want to give it a try if you were planning on spraying your plot anyway. Another recommendation - if you are having a consistent problem with certain noxious weeds, kill your plot next spring with Glyphosate and plant next summer to Roundup ready soybeans. Yes, the deer will eat them in the ground, but you will be able to spray your plots during the summer to clean up weed issues. Then, you can come back in next fall and plant another cool season perennial plot. This is a good way to knock back these problem weeds. Hope this helps. Here's a photo of the clover that was sprayed with Glyphosate. This is the following spring. The brown stubble is wheat. [img]http://www.realtree.com/img/521/medium/clover_clipped.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
