I see a quart of Stinger can be had for about $70. Why aren't foodplotters using Stinger for broadleaf weed control in brassicas?
I used to think Stinger was super expensive, I've spent more on IMOX and Milestone

I used to think Stinger was super expensive, I've spent more on IMOX and Milestone Why? Only good on cocklebur and thistle. No activity on waterhemp and or lambs quarter the weeds most guys have problems with in our area anyway. |

There's a few on the label that I deal with here, but it would sure be nice if it killed lambsquarter and pigweed. |

Only thing I ever sold it for was to add in 2 oz of stinger in with 2,4D when spraying small grain that had bad thistle problems. Works excellent for that. |

I do deal with Canada thistle on my north plot, but I keep that in clover/alfalfa. |

We're gonna find out how clopyralid does on radishes, turnips, and collards.
I need to hit the same plot with cleth too.
Dumb deer got me spraying shit all the time..
Edit..also going to find out how IMOX does on some gly resistant common ragweed.
I had to finish spraying using the neighbor's atv. Mine cooked another regulator. I think we replaced the last one 4 or 5 years ago. If it weren't for the neighbor, I would have had to buy a different atv years ago.

This morning we checked on the plots I sprayed a couple days ago. 2-7" common ragweed is curling from the Clopyralid. No signs of grasses dying from the cleth, but thats to be expected this early. I hope the ragweed dies and doesn't snap back. Well see how many other broadleaf weeds get zapped. The brassicas all look good, so I'm going to call them "Clopyralid" ready.
The clover/alfalfa/chicory plot I hit with Imox/cleth shows very little herbicide impact. The ragweed there does appear to have yellowing at the growing point/tip. So we'll see what happens.
Right now, I'm thinking Clopyralid is a good addition to a brassica food plotting arsenal.

Neighbor installed it along with changing over some melted wires/connector. He saves me a bunch of money on mechanic fees. I'll be spraying and seeding a plot over there in a bit edited to add...I checked on the brassica plot I hit with Stinger/clopyralid and cleth today. The common ragweed and thistles are really curled up. Purslane looks sick, but some other broadleaf weeds look just fine. Grasses will be dead by the end of the week. It does look like the radish and turnip should dominate very soon if we'd get .5" of rain. |

Glad that they have Stinger for those or it would suck. |

Glad that they have Stinger for those or it would suck. I've seen other folks say ragweed gets browsed. I have never seen that happen anywhere I've plotted. Clopyralid also seems to be knocking out oxeye daisy and fleabane. Both are problematic here. Oxeye seems to almost enjoy glyphosate Edit..the cattlemen across the road from me was out yesterday. I had texted him about a couple bull calves being out. After he attempted to mend his shitty fence he got on the atv and was spraying 4-7' thistles with a wand sprayer using 2-4D, or at least something with 2-4D as a component. The odor is unmistakable. Too bad he didn't ask me what to spray. |

That is in the 2-4D family. not sure if they are supposed to but, they spray With or without animals in the pasture. |

I have no idea why he doesn't hit the pasture in spring with Grazon or similar. Follow up on break throughs in summer with Milestone or Stinger and he'd increase his forage over there by at least 20% I'd guess. By the end of year 2 I'd bet he'd have 90%+ of the thistles controlled. Ya, he'd have a couple hundred bucks invested, along with his time. I'd think he's paying at least that much for supplemental feed annually. A whole lot more in years like last year. |
