They'll probably be fine without spraying but if you have the means then definitely spray them.

1 quart per acre of 24-D-B and 10oz per acre of clethodim takes care of all grass and broadleaf problems!

Looks to me like youve got more weeds and grass than chufa. Id spray It looked that way so I dug up several things I thought were grass and all had a chufa attached

I think you will be real disappointed with the results if you don't spray. The weeds and grass that look insignificant right now would be all you will see in 2 months. I think you would certainly make some chufas if you didn't, but why not go ahead and do it right? You have the potential for a really good field. Good luck with it!

just because I've had cleth damage the chufas alittle i go alittle lighter than 10 oz per acre, i think it depends on how much water they get. i believe the times ive had really hot dry spells after I spray is when it seemed to damage them alittle

I’ve never sprayed - that must be my problem. What do your spray, again! I plan to spray 8-10 oz clethodim, 1-2 oz milestone, 1 pint surfactant per 25 gallons in the sprayer

I have told people that I use 10 oz, but I have seen damage at that rate. And I think you are right that it's very dependant on the amount of rain you get. I have tried 8 oz and found that it didn't do a good job of controlling the grass in some fields. I think there is a very narrow window for how much Clethodim you can safely use. The window for Milestone is much wider and you can use more of it without damage. I don't know about everyone else, but most of the herbicide damage I get is from poor application on my part. I now use a boomless sprayer and it is real easy to overlap the spray rows and give some spots a double dose. I have started cutting limbs and wrapping toilet paper on the ends for visibility, then putting them at measured distances on each end of the field so I have a guide to keep my spray rows consistent. That takes a lot of extra work, but it's worth it. It doesn't hurt a thing to overlap when spraying deer plots with gly, but you need to be precise with chufa spray.

Im a bammer so I'm not real smart. My patches are a half to 3/4 acre. My sprayer holds about 15 gallons. How many oz of each should I put ? Some Barners can give a straight answer. The amount per tank is irrelevant, unless you go to wild extremes. All that matters is how much of the actual herbicide you put out per acre. Ben gave one formula using Milestone, and there are others here that use 2-4DB. Pick one and get that amount on your plot on a per acre basis. Nobody can tell you how much to put in the tank without knowing the variables, so only you can figure that. Gotta start by figuring the exact size of your plot. Measure it and figure sq ft, then convert that to acres. Then you can multiply that number by the numbers in your formula and determine exactly how much herbicide you need on the field. Next, you have to figure out how much herbicide your sprayer puts out. That will be determined by the sprayer and the speed that you drive. Since you are dealing with a small plot of less than an acre, you could just do a test plot. Say it is exactly a half acre - lay out a plot in a pasture that is exactly a half acre, fill your sprayer with water, then spray the water over the test plot being careful to run at the same speed you want to use to spray. Then see how much water it took and adjust the numbers to fit your recipe. This takes a little time, but it's essential to calibrate your sprayer. Good luck
