Sprayin - in this drought??

Tom Barto · Jul 6, 2012

So what is everyone doin???Im in NW MO - we're on our 3rd week of no rain and 100 degree temps and no rain in sight...so far my beans look healthy - but I know that can change fast..

We have TONS of glyphos resist waterhemp - only thing I can find to kill is is cobra but it also puts a hurtin on the beans...

I've been thinkin I'll wait till I see some kind of pattern change to moisture as i just can't imagine if we don't get rain that the beans will come out of the damage from the cobra...

Thoughts???

Flexstar or flexstar gt. Chemistry is a little easier on the beans. Wait until the weather changes and it's not so hot.

Yea - but I've been worried about that affecting my corn crop for next year - they want 9 months - and if we don't get enough rain, the flexstar will still be in/on the soil and hurt my corn emergence...we hardly have gotten any rain the past 45 days...I don't see that changin anytime soon!

don't do it. I did my corn right before we got a 17 day dry spell. When the corn started drooping with the weeds, it never recovered. Sure, it is not drooping now, but I lost about a foot growth and the 2 fields I didn't spray are a foot over it now. It was a bad move.
