Recently we have been answering many questions
about Roundup UltraMAX® for preharvest applications in wheat.
This is no surprise given the patches of healthy, green weeds
surrounded by brown wheat. Cutting green plant material with
the combine is not only difficult and time consuming, but
could potentially result in dockage at the elevator.
Dry conditions in many parts of the state have resulted in
a short wheat crop with an open canopy. Without vigorous
competition from the crop, weeds may begin to occupy fields.
Preharvest or postharvest glyphosate applications make sense
for some growers as either a harvest aid or to help setup their
fields for the 2003 season. The key advantages of preharvest
treatments include a faster, earlier harvest with weeds killed
earlier and less weed seed production. A cost-saving alternative
to Roundup UltraMAX is RT Master, a premix of glyphosate
and 2,4-D labeled for control of annual and
perennial weeds throughout North and South
Dakota.
For preharvest application, apply RT Master
after the hard dough stage of grain fill. This is the
point of development when the crop is considered
to be physiologically mature. Flow of nutrients to
the grain has stopped. The kernels have no green
color left and are firm enough so that the contents
cannot be squeezed out. Grain moisture will be
approximately 30%. Up to one quart of RT
Master per acre can be applied prior to harvest.

I cannot believe torsten doesn't understand the concept of grain
quality

He understands quite well. He would just rather eat grains that have
been treated with paraquat and Hoelon than Roundup.

Bwahahahaha. A dumb American who thinks grains are 'treated' with
