Does it kill unwanted grass types
@TheJfitch 4 күн бұрын
@brianwood4204 yes, it will prevent any grass germinating from seed. It prevents grasses like crabgrass, foxtail, Bahia, vaseygrass, etc.

In central Georgia we’ve been fighting stem maggots for years. Talked to a friend of mine several years ago and he recommended spraying besiege 10 days after cutting and it’s a preventative on stem maggots has a 30-40 day residual it’s expensive but good insurance. Haven’t had army worms since spraying besiege and it all about timing with stem maggots.
@TheJfitch Ай бұрын
@CraigMorgan-yu8wy It is a great product. Besiege has become a staple in my program, too. I try to tell as many people about it as I can. Some people are turned off because of the price, but honestly, you save money not having to spray over and over.
@CraigMorgan-yu8wy Ай бұрын
@ I agree totally a friend of mine told me about it. I was in sticker shock about price but I only spray once for stem maggots and don’t have to worry about army worms either. This past year everybody in my area was getting eat up with army worms. I sprayed besiege in my hayfields and at 45 days I had army worms in my pasture but none right across the fence in my hayfield. Plus it cuts down on ant beds I’ve been a believer for a while.

So when my lovely horse was diagnosed with ulcers after colic surgery, we were in a pickle. Your straightforward real world approach and emphasis on the time it took saved the day.

I know it has been common practice to think crabgrass is a "weed" and terrible in Bermuda grass fields. I am curious why you think it is so bad. I actually grow crabgrass for hay and customers love it. It actually test better that bermuda in most cases.I would not waste any money trying to get rid of it in bermuda if I were growing bermuda. I would think of it as a taster high quality spice instead. Properly cured Red River crabgrass holds a beatufil green color in the my square bales that horse people think is important. Crabgrass does take more drying time as you mention. I cut my purpose drawn crabgrass with a mower conditioner and ted 2 to 3 times. Yes it is more work but the end result is worth it on certain fields. It has to be watched just like Bermuda because army worms love it too.
@TheJfitch 3 ай бұрын
@boltactionshooter I have baled a good bit of crabgrass myself as a livestock owner. My horses have always eaten it just fine. I personally don't have anything against the grass. Once you put in time and money to have your fields sprigged and are moving in a direction to market Bermuda grass, then crabgrass becomes one of the top opponents for infiltrating your stand. There is an unbelievable seed bed available in my area. So, it is a challenge when you want to grow and harvest something other than crabgrass. It takes a good bit of persistence to keep it at bay.

@michiganhay7844 The wheel had definitely become one with the spindle. It shouldn't have taken all of that effort to get the wheel off but I guess years of grime had it welded in place.

That is a very real point. The cost of everything is sky high and if it wasn't for foxtail, some variable grasses would be acceptable.
