huntermq32 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Can this stuff be mowed like clover and chichory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darron Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Turnip and rape is an annual plant that establishes very quickley giving lots of forage with large wide leaves. Due to this, the plant should not be mowed. Deer begin to eat on the plant after the first frost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 we just had a discussion about that over at the QDMA forum. My experience is that brassicas don't respond well to mowing (like Darron suggested). Sure you will get some regrowth but not recommended.

huntermq32 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Can it be sprayed whith arrest I have a grass problem?I planted about 6 weeks ago is it to early to spray? Thanks for you help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darron Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 from what I have read, arrest will only kill grasses, not broadleafs, so you should be ok. In my case, I have several spots in my clover plot that has some broadleaf weeds. Since clover is a broadleaf as well, I'm just going to have to bight the bullet on it. I don't get uptight about having weeds in my plots, just as long as they do not take over. This is why I usually over seed to try and choke out the weeds.
