Shoot the field as is, when it's over bushhog, spray, disc, spray, disc, spray. Chaulk up this season to laziness

This year I have some areas that are the same. I will spray in about a week. I will come in and spray Roundup/ 24d ans one oz of valor. Everything will die. Once you have pigweel you will always have it in the seed bank. Rotate corn and beans will help. Be carefull with too much atrazine, you will have caryover into the flowers after several years. It will effect the size of your flowers.

Feel free to PM me and I will help any way I can.

Burn it down with gramoxon this year and next year , plant clearfields and spray with a mix of either dual magnum or prowl and Spartan 4f as a pre emerge and lightning as a post emerge. Lightning seems to have a better residual on pigweed and cadre has a better residual on sicklepod. We have about eliminated the pigweed in our sunflowers,now just have to work on the sicklepod.

Have you tried putting fluoride on it?

Every year ToofPrick is on here whining about some damn problem with his dove field. Anyone else see a clear connection to the problems?

Is this it?

If you don't properly maintain a field you will always have these issues.

We have had our dove field in the same location for 3 years and we will have to move it next year. I believe the pigweed has become immune to spray. I put enough dual on them in one treatment that I was concerned I might kill the sunflowers and it didn't phase them.

I will be spraying the entire field with roundup soon and strategically bush hog to try to make the field last as long as possible.

Crop rotation helps but you can't judge the land until you have done everything you should for an entire growing season.

And to think I gave you the legitimate answer- Take a boom less sprayer over the middle 2 of 12 rows. Half the time you do not even knock the sunflowers down.
