Weed Patrol

In early July the field was getting pretty weedy. After a few more days, the weeds were getting to be significantly bad and the field was sprayed before the weeds could do any damage. Below are some pictures several days after spraying. With close inspection, one can see some rows of grass in the weed patch. Note this post is a little dated, these pictures are from early July.  To spray the acre a pesticide mix was made up and applied using a 4-wheeler spray boom. Chemical applied was 2,4-D,  Atrazine, and AMS (ammonium sulfate).

You can sort of see cross rows of the grass among the dying weeds.

another cross row picture, one can see the taller miscanthus grass.
