    Default Food plots and mustard control....

    So I have some fields with entirely too much mustard growing in them that are planted in wheat and Clover. To you Ag guys what would you recommend attacking this mustard with?

    Maybe 2-4DB? Not sure if it will kill the wheat or not though. You can also use Slay or pursuit for broadleaf in clover but it will kill the wheat for sure.

    Is the mustard taller than the wheat at this stage? Maybe you could use a wick type herbicide applicator?

    Because it would be pratically impossible to control any strain of mustards and not take the clover out too...Poast is for grass control, not broadleaves...

    Not sure there is anything that will kill mustard and not kill the clover. Might have to just live with it for now.


    2th, it may be a little late in the season to be attacking Johnson grass,......but Poast is the product and it will kill the wheat/oats. I would start next spring after warm up. They wont be hitting the wheat as hard then.

    I’m with 2th. Why would you kill the clover. Out of wheat and clover clover is a much better sustainable food source with higher protein content. Wheat is 13% and clover can be as high as 27%.

    "Wild mustard reproduces only through its seeds, and each plant produces between 2,000 and 3,500 seeds in its lifetime. The seeds typically drop and germinate near the parent plants, which allows the weed to quickly spread out into thick patches. The seeds that don't germinate immediately can survive up to 60 years in the soil. "

    2,4-DB should do the trick....

    i am aware of the poast hence my post.

    I'd mow it.

    That is what I suspected but made some calls and did some research.
    Wheat will be OK to go as well.
