ParrotHead2005 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Anyone remember the name of the spray that was on here that was good for clover. It was like Anomine 24D ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronS Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover You can spray Poast to kill grass in clover. I haven't used it but I've heard it's kind of pricey. I've recently read on the QDMA website that you can mix up a weak tank of Roundup (I thought it was 1/2 pint per acre but Todd may be able to verify) and it will take care of the grass without harming the clover. The clover may act a little sick for a week or so but will come out of it. This is a much cheaper option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the mixture ratio though. I'll check into it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover you can kill your grasses with poast. you can kill your broadleaf weeds with 2,4D-B--make sure you get the one with the B on the end. Regular 2,4D will kill your clover. Yes--you can use roundup (glyphosate) on a well established clover plot (greater than 1 year old) to kill grasses and weeds on your clover plot. The recommended ratio is 1 quart per acre. The normal rate is 2 quarts per acre of the 41% glyphosate. However---you still take a chance of harming your clover but I know of a lot of food plotters that have used this method and had good luck. I'll double check my ratio but I'm pretty sure that is right. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParrotHead2005 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover It is mainly a few spots of grasses and some weeds that I dont know what they are. Thanks guys. I will probably go with the poast and 2, 4d,b. It has to be cheaper than the stuff from the whitetail Inst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mixed with the qt.?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover I almost wish I hadn't asked that question. I am assuming the amount of water would depend on the width of spray and the travel speed of the sprayer. If you traveled the 1 acre plot until the 1 qt. of Roundup was dispensed I guess it wouldn't matter how much water you mixed in as long as you had enough to last the full acre. Correct?

Guest cowpoke Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover For round up 10 to 20 gallons per acre when you broadcast is what I believe is on the label. Just make sure that it is put out in good sized spray droplets to minimize drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover Ok. I would like to try this Roundup mixure from my hand held sprayer. How much roundup for 3 gallons of water? Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember for spraying existing clover plots it is 1 quart per acre of plot. So if your are spraying a 1/4 acre plot you want to use 0.25 quart of round-up. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thayer Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover Note what Dogdoc said in his previous post....Don't use the Roundup method on new clover plots...they need to have a real good root base to resist the affects of the roundup and come back as healthy plants....You might try mowing to keep the grasses back.

I have a half acre food plot with several different clovers. It is well established, it was planted 3 years ago. I have some grasses growing in the food plot. I do not plan to spray the entire plot. I just want to fill a hand held sprayer and walk around the plot hitting the bad spots. Putting out fires, so to speak. I was curious what ratio should I mix? How much roundup in a 3 gallon sprayer? Do you understand what I plan to do? Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover I would mix it as Todd suggested, and just spray it on the grass spots here and there where it is needed kind of thin. You do not want to spray it on too heavy at that rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover Ranger--1 ounce per gallon. You also might think about purchasing a small bottle of grass killer at wal-mart or Home Depot. The grass specific herbicide won't damage your clover at all. Gardeners use it in their flower garden to control bermuda invasion. You can use that at full strength and kill your grasses and not take any chance on harming your clover. However--if you want to use the 1/2 strength roundup technique then it would be 1 ounce in 1 gallon of water. good luck and don't over soak the area--just a nice uniform spraying over the grassy areas is all you need. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: Spray for Clover Ranger, sounds like a product called Poast is what you are looking for. Won't kill broadleaf plants, but will kill grasses. Check TSC store. I think they have what you want. Maybe not under that specific name.
