OKLAHOMA ALFALFA PRODUCTION CALENDAR

Weed Control

Seedling Stands:  If your field had a history of dock problems, consider spraying newly planted fall stands in October or November with Butyrac® 200. This is the only time that dock can be selectively removed from alfalfa.

The best time to control emerged cool-season weeds in fall- planted alfalfa is in October and November. Butyrac® 200 (used for broadleaf weeds) and Poast Plus® (used for weedy grasses) are both translocated herbicides, so weeds need to be actively growing (good soil moisture and warm temperature) when applied.
