? on roundup.

[jaypz4]

we sprayed some new ground with roundup friday so how long would you wait before mowing and then disking? with no rain forecast anytime soon do i need to wait before trying to plant.

On the back of the roundup bottle it says that it is safe to plant after three days but I would ask around

Roundup will do its job now. Once it is absorbed into the plant past 24 hours it is going to die.....
It is what it is and it does what it does.....It kills.
Once absorbed the clock wont be turned back. Do your thing!!!...disc, plant etc...

The bottle says wait a week to two weeks for a good kill. You can plant sooner than that though, it only kills green vegatation that it touches.

Steven is right... the best is to wait for two weeks. Yes.. we all get excited to plant but you will have very good results if you are patient & wait until it is completly brown and crunchy. * Check and you will see the differnce of the sound & feel of the grass ect. when it is dead and ready to work up.

Advantages = easy to mow / easy to disk / dead grass acts as straw to provide moisture for your seed / the longer you wait, the longer your plot will be effective into the hunting season and keep your growth young and tender as possible.
