OKLAHOMA ALFALFA PRODUCTION CALENDAR

Weed Control

  • July Weed Control in Established Stands: Scout regrowth after haying old fields to determine if summer weeds need spraying. If selling dairy quality hay is planned, then control of summer weeds like pigweeds, crabgrass, and foxtails may be profitable. Butyrac® 200 will control small pigweeds (less 4 inches tall) and Poast Plus® will control small weedy grasses.
      
  • July Weed Control in Seed Production Stands: Dodder should be controlled in the cutting before going for alfalfa seed crop. It includes mowing close and using Gramoxone® Extra within 5 days of cutting.
  • Grazing weedy alfalfa in July and August should be considered rather than trying to control weeds with a herbicide.
