Canary Seed

Cleavers can be a bitch to. We spray ours with headline and it gives a definite yield boost.

we have tried many fungicides including headline , some years yield increase some years not. we just do the puma frontline or puma prestige mixes , both kick the shit out of it for a week to 10 days . I call it our growth regulator . we just grow the itchy stuff , shoot for an average yield of 30-35 bpa . cheap to grow , it's all sold and gone at $.24-.25 per pound.. we do use fungicide of some kind every year although this year we left some 80 ac pieces and no yield loss without it . yield this year sbout 33 bpa ,.unfortunately everyone's growing flax and canary next year which have been our cash crops so maybe we'll take a year off
