Callisto Permit herbicide

DairyFarmerInMA · May 5, 2013

Has anyone used Callisto and Permit herbicide with Grounded in combination for spraying silage corn as preimergent weed control. I seem to be getting nutsedge as well as some grasses and was thinking of changing things up from the Callisto and Pendamethalin with Grounded mix I've used in the past. It is RR corn so I can clean it up with another spraying later in the season but roundup won't really take out nutsedge and if I don't have to drive through it again that'd be a plus. Also wondering if Callisto and Permit are compatable in a tank mix?
Thank for any advice you can offer

I've used Permit. very good post emergent nutsedge control. You want to let the nutsedge get some leaves on it to absorb the herbicide for best kill.

If it's legal in your area, I'd look into Dual (metolachlor) for pre emergent nutsedge and grass control. pretty sure it's cheaper, don't have to worry about adjuvants, and you can still come back with permit later if necessary. it would also take the place of the pendimethalin for annual grasses, and without causing lodging.

We can't use Dual anymore here on LI since they found it in the groundwater.

How far north does nutsedge grow anyway? We've always had it in SC.
