HI everyone. New to food plot construction. My crops are just popping out of the ground here in MA and my question is, What type of weed/grass control can I use on the plot now that it starting to come up without harming crop? I have Corn, Chufa, Purple Top turnips and a Clover/Alpha alpha mix. I appreciate all your input folks....

If you have seperate plots of each you have options to meet the requirements for each situation. Broadleaf weeds in corn? 2-4D Flexor is an option. Grass weeds in legumes? Cleth (arrow)broad leaf weeds in clover? 2,4-DB (Butrac). If everything is mixed your only options were pre-emerge herbicides, so walk around with a hoe like my grandfather did

In my Chicory clover plots my best method of weed control is to mow. I have tried weed killer but mowing about 3-4 times a season is best.

For general control during spring/summer prior to Brassicas...Round up? Also, are there opinions on the better (non-battery) back pack sprayer?
