This is mainly for conventional planting even though plan could be modified for no-till farming
Anytime around the end of March do your burn down
32 ounces of gly 4 and 8 ounces of Dicamba in 10 gallons of water covering 1 acre. Wait 20 days to allow for a good vegetation kill.
I broad cast my "coated fertilizer" Anytime around 15 days if fields are dry enough.
As soon as fields are dry enough at end of 20 day period I incorporate 32 ounces of treflan or prowl into the top 2-3 inches of soil using the scratcher do-all.
Anytime around May 1, I am ready to plant.
Planter set at 18,000 to 19,000 seed per acre, planted at 1.5 inches deep.
As I am planting I am also spraying my herbicides out the back of the planter.
11 ounces of liquid Zidua.
24 ounces of generic Duel.
42 ounces of Paraquat
2 ounces of Insecticide
The above chemicals in 10 gallons of water covering 1 acre.
This has been my plan the past 3 years and I basically don't have to do anything else to fields until time to bush hog.
