    To spray or not to spray?

    Temps not too warm today and pretty good frost next few days should a guy spray post harvest or not? Kinda iffy to wait til after because if frost too heavy plants may be done.

    Rider; The last 240 acres of durum stubble(peas next year) I sprayed for some thistles(some stems without leaves, some with sick ones and some decent ones), I think was a waste of time. If glyphosate was $8.00 plus a liter I wouldn't have even thought about it. I think we need to use the product responsibly and not base the decision based on price alone.

    I think I may have said too much....

      What kind of moisture have you gotten lately.
      South of regina we have been dry since last frost
      so Im pretty sure glyphosate won't do anything
      now.

        Wet muck a couple of inches down, here.
        All post harvest sprayed up to 2 weeks ago. Thistles and dandelions look like shit, awe too bad you sob's.
        Could work till yesterday, after minus 5, risky, but so cheap.

          Thanks for the opinions we are dry as a fart here too at least the top few inches, below is lots of moisture so not sure what the heck to do. I wanted to clean it up for peas also.

            If thistle and dandelion are your main weed problems, i would still do it. If mostly winter anualls, i would stay a away from it. I have had great luck spraying even after a few hard frosts. Its way cheaper and more effective to get them noy IMO.

              If any sow or Canada thistle, they are MUCH easier to kill now than in the spring. Quack as well if still any green leaves on these plants.

                Agreed with the majority. Now is the time to
                apply glyphosate. On hard to kill weeds.
                Otherwise you will be spending heavy on some
                other racy chemical to get lacluster results next
                season.

                    We're going to loose next week it looks real cold .
                    I got down to 8 left. Thistles maybe if it gets above
                    10 for a couple days and doesn't freeze at night.
                    Quack foxtail. That boat has sailed.
