Spraying Prowl H2O

I just finished discing a small piece of ground for buckwheat and/or oats. I plan to apply Prowl. I assume I disc in fert, get seed bed ready and then spray Prowl. Or do I spray after I plant? One of my books says it can be done either way. Which works best? I didn't have any issues with soil sticking to discs; one of the nice things about light soil.

I would spray last and then your layer of chemical protection will not be disturbed. A 1/2 inch of rain after application and you are good to go.
 
You may want to read the label a little better. I agree with SDPete. I don"t believe Prowl H2O is labeled to use on oats.

In the little research I did here is what I found on use of herbicides on small grains..

Apply Prowl H2O at 1.5-3 pt/A to wheat or triticale between growth stage 1–7 but before weed emergence. For best results, apply Prowl H2O once the wheat rows are visible and before weeds have emerged. Any emerged weeds will not be controlled, so tank mix to control them. Prowl controls many annual grass and broadleaf weeds. Wheat or triticale must be planted 0.5–1.0 inch deep to avoid crop injury. See label for additional use restrictions.

There is no mention of use on oats.

Check the label here.
 
I had my doubts but I didn't have a label right here. I didn't think it was even supposed to be incorporated for corn. Not supposed to come in contact with the seed is it?
 
Thanks for all the input. I'll use something else in oats. It's just a food plot so not a big deal if there are a few weeds.
