Mid-November seems a little late to be spraying in southern Ontario, but the warm temperatures have made for some great opportunities and fall weed control simply works, says Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson in this latest episode of Wheat Pete’s Word.
Fall weed control is especially worth it on perennial sow thistle, Canada thistle and on dandelion, but it takes a high rate of glyphosate, Pete explains. In this episode, also hear about slug damage, soybeans, choosing corn hybrids, and low crop prices.
