RangerClay Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My food plot is in the middle of the woods so I have to clear branches every year so that it gets enough sunlight. It is about 20 yards wide by 35 yards long. The food plot was already on the property when I bought it in 1999. I planted it myself for the first time in 2000 with just clover and have tried some different seeds since. I have had very good success with WI Winter Greens for years till this demon weed showed up. About 4-5 years ago this weed appeared for the first time but just a few plants. I thought I had pulled them all out but the next year there were more. It was to the point where there were too many to yank so I let them go. Big mistake! Now for the last 2 years they grow so thick that they crowd out and canopy whatever I grow. Last fall I planted a high dollar clover seed and it was going good till late July when this weed starts to appear. Now I've considered mowing or weed whacking but I don't want to kill what I've planted. I'm ready to nuke this entire plot and start over. Do you have any suggestions? Here is a couple pics I took the second week of October and you can see that it is still flowering. Now if I could just get the deer to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Dunno for sure Joe, but bet Chris will know. Could be something that started from bird pooh, they are good at transferring junk to plots. Far as killing it, a good mix of glyphosate(roundup) and 2 4 d should do the trick, probably would not be a bad idea to go with a follow up a few weeks later to kill any new growth from seed in the ground.

Turkeygirl Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Believe I've seen that here...not sure what it is though. That's my suggestions, take some round up and spray on the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well I have learned that it is called Quickweed. My problem is that it doesn't show up till mid- July. That is too late to spray round-up and then plant this far north. One thing I read was use a per-emergence herbicide. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Ravin R10 man Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 how can it be quick if it takes to July??..ok guess I was wrong...I don't like being wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Don't know about pre emergents Joe. Tried a search on google, some pretty good info out there on some different pre emergent herbicides labeled to control quickweed, but never had any first hand experience with any of them. Be sure whatever you do use is going to be ok to use with whatever you plan to plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Way late to the conversation here but, a website I was turned on to is Keystone Pest Solutions, Low price herbicides and pesticides. They have a ton of good info on which products to use, where and how, and which products play nice together when tank mixing. It won't help you ID your weeds but it will tell you what to use to kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrown Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 What's in your food plot? I could probably find a couple and give you a recommendation. We like to use Remedy for broadleaf plants, but if you have clover or any peas it will knock those out as well, there's a herbicide for everything. Grazon P&D is what we use for hay meadows and pastures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
