Clethodim

What mix rate are you guys using for your clover fields? I'm seeing anywhere from 4-16oz per acre online.
We would be using a tank sprayer on the back of a ranger with a boomless nozzle.
also, are you using crop oil or dish soap as a surfactant? i've seen both mentioned.
would be using grassout max 26.4%

Last question, is there a cheaper alternative.

Regular clethodim in the 2 1/2 gallon jug would be cheaper in the long run. Alot cheaper. They sell it at the co op.

I ask 257 last year he recommended 10oz per acre and 1% crop oil. I had good results and about to spray mine again

When is the best time to spray

When the grass young and tender

I’m curious about ratio per gallon and per acre also. I have a 125 gal on tractor but use my 26 gallon on atv most of the time

I would use 10-12 oz/A clethodim with 1% v/v COC.

I found a conversion online of .50oz per gallon. Sprayed this past weekend , wait and see how it took.

Does cleth require a surfactant?

jlbuc10, yes it does.

Yes. Clethodim has let me down on quite a bit of burndowns this spring.

In the spring, when the clover isn't stressed, you can spray 2ozs./gal of gly and it will kill everything but the clover.

I quit using it. I used it at the high end of 16oz per acre with crop oil. I just wasn’t impressed for whatever reason.

I went back to 1oz of gly per 2oz of water and haven’t looked back. Maybe my fescue and Johnson grass is the bigger reason. Honestly I don’t know if gasoline can kill ladino clover anyway. 2-4d didn’t even brown it this spring in a few places I sprayed for summer plots. If in the rare event that broadleaf get started I use the 2-4db.

I like it, I mix at .5oz per gallon. I think they like for you to put some liquid fertilizer in with it, and I haven't tried that yet. I have more trouble with broadleafs. I did tinker with some Imox, and it seems to kill milk weed, but I haven't been back to check my main clover plot to see if it killed the weeds I had there. Like poison ivy. Since I have to cut it with a weedeater, I don't want to be weedeating a bunch of poison ivy and getting it all over me.

Swamper, are you sure you use 1oz/2oz? I use it at 2 ozs/ gallon with good kill and no clover damage.

Yeah, that can't be right.....
