Milo herbicide

Postby DeerDawg » Tue May 07, 2013 3:06 pm

Any herbicide out there I can use on milo that will allow to me come back with soybeans next year? I know atrazine is what most people use but I don't think you can plant legumes for a while after using it. Don't know how long the residual effects are either. Looking for pre and/or post emerge options

Atrazine is fine, you can plant soybeans behind it.

Deerdawg, Google the msds label and read it. It'll tell you everything.

You'll be fine. The label said something along the lines of "spray before June 10th to avoid nontarget crop injury the following year". We've done beans and cotton the year following atrazine and its fine. The Midwest has done a corn soybean rotation for decades.

It's a bunch of over explained technical talk in the labels that wingman is referring to, but all the information is in there. I would recommend a folder or something to keep your labels in. Tear a label off every chemical you spray and you'll always have it handy as long as the formation is the same.

On another note....if you are applying Dual with the atrazine....make sure the seed has the treatment on it to keep it safe :wink:

For what it's worth this is my preplant milo mix per acre.

1/2 gal Atrazine
1.33 pt Brawl(generic dual)
48 oz Gramoxone
1/4 % Surfactant

It's a stout mix, but I've got some pigweed issues I'm trying to fix.

Dang...48 oz of paraquat + atrazine will be hot! I am looking at some fairly hot mixes myself to go out behind the soybean plater. These wet spells have put us in a bind.

1.5 oz of Sharpen + 2 oz of Zidua + 1% firezone, .25% AMS, and Roundup behind the planter in soybeans will take out anything and give all the residual you want. Its expensive as all hell but will do the job.

Gonna run you somewhere around 18-20 bucks per acre the way I have it figured and depending on your chemical source. Also, no skimp on the adjuvants with sharpen or you will lose much of its burndown effect. BASF guy says if you don't want to buy the adjuvants then don't use his product cause he will just have a complaint. Heard some claims that on 30 inch beans you may get by with only one in-season spray after using this mix with that being right at canopy, and on 15s you may have none except for some really late season Johnson grass escapes, but I have yet to find anything that will control Johnsongrass from a pre-emerge standpoint except trifluralin, and it only suppresses it.

That 36 dollar shot of Accent I just put on my switchgrass makes that 20 dollar shot seem cheap! ;)
