I got a local farmer spraying a chemical that is supposed to neutralize Atrazine. Anyone ever hear of it? Isn't Atrazine not supposed to carry over? Sounds like possibly a Mr. Haney thing to me.

Have seen beans follow corn that had used Atrazine. They turned white when they were real small but came out of it Okay. Soil testing for Atrazine is an option. My tests showed more traces of it then the Gobberment people wanted to see for some native grasses. Local seed guy said that if oats would grow then A. not a problem. We planted a few oats and it grew alright even though lab tests showed positive for A.

Can not neutralize Atrazine. We used carbon to absord it from the waste water at the plant but it is still there. Had to send the used carbon out and have it regenerated (I think they used HCL and another chemical to clean it). Only time will get rid of it.

Later Roland

 Can you tell me more? in reply to Sloroll, 04-19-2006 05:56:45  
That's interesting. Would sure like to hear what this "chemical neutralizer" is called.

For planting grass seed in the fall, a band of activated charcoal is applied directly over the grass row to neutralize the high rate of karmex that is braodcast sprayed right behind the planting.

If you have time, I would really like to hear more about this. If it is on the "up'n'up", and is reasonably cost effective, it may be of interest in this area. But, if it is "snake oil", we'll probably be reading about the lawsuits that will follow.

This is being aerial applicated. If applied properly Atrazine has less than 1/2 year carry over here, I believe.

I'll ask more but most I have bounced it off of state that they have never heard of shuch an item except charcoal). Heck, I'm like Allan. I'm an old timer and a lot of this newer farming tech screams past me. I am thinking snake oil though.

 That's where I was going with the question. in reply to Allan In NE, 04-19-2006 07:52:04  
We have trouble planting grass even with the charcoal band behind crops like strawberries. There is just too much residual and once the feeder roots begin to grow beyond the charcoal band, the grass gets very sick.

I have seen some new developements in chemical carriers and so forth, but I would really like to know about something like this neutralizer.

The only 'neutralizer' I know if is used to clean out sprayer tanks and even that's a loose definition. Atrazine will indeed carryover and damage crops the next year. Jim

Dunno Bill,

I've never heard of that, but I'm an old duffer too.

I always had to wait a good 3 years for it to clear enough for a legume crop.

we had a guy that planted the neighbors beans--- into our corn field that we had the MAX rate of atrexx just sprayed on it... we harvested corn and there was 20bu/a of beans in that 2ac's as well... it never killed those legumes..LOL


Charcoal is all my uncle (who is in the buisness) says there is... but new stuff does come around..
