Bto I don't think coffee shop science is a safe
approach to managing a farm. When on earth
has glyphosate caused a standing crop to
deteriorate faster than a field that was not
sprayed.
My guess is that you farm in the south and
haven't experienced too many wet falls in the
past. We have been preharvesting for the past
25 years and I can't think of one year that we
lost a grade due to spraying a field with
glyphosate and leaving it stand.
Here is some coffee shop scientific data for you.
Fall of 2009 1500 acres of wheat sprayed sept. 8
combined last week of sept after 4 inches of
rain, still graded a 1 red, swathed field that was
being left for seed was feed. 1000 acres of oats
sprayed sept. 10 combined nov.7 after 7 inches
of rain and 6 inches of snow graded a 2cw, 80
acres of swathed left for seed wasn't even
marketable and wouldn't even burn in the swath
the next spring.
As far as weed resistance, manage the groups
you spray and you won't have an issue. Its like
any system that a producer implements on their
operation, if you don't have the knowledge and
skill to implement it in the correct way then of
course it won't work. Same goes for a
conventional system, till too much and you
donate soil to the neighbors. Just think of the
coffee shop science when toilet paper was first
implemented
