incorporating pre emerge herbicide

gary in neb. · Jul 13, 2017

son and I have only dryland corn and bean ground. generally we spray pre emerge and round up with the planter. this year stayed dry for about 3 weeks after planting and pre did not work at all. so looking at options for next year. just wondering how others incorporate their pre's. we are not no till so generally disc corn ground before planting beans.

I don't incorporate. I just spray atrazine and Accumen over the top after I plant.

I plant, spray, drag.

Back in the day, we used to apply pre-emerge herbicide with a spray bar on the back of the planter. That way, the herbicide landed on the freshly turned (and still moist) soil the planter kicked up. It seemed to help.

I'd be wary of incorperating some products- if worked in to deep, you may lose effectiveness. I'd consult the label of what you are using. No rain is a problem with a lot of products.

In dry land milo we used to put down preemerge herbicide with fertilizer with a spray boom in front of the disc right in front of the planter, we ran saddle tanks on the disc tractor. Seemed to work pretty good. The only problem we had was if we did that in front of the lister it would move all the herbicide out of the row and we would have some weeds in the row. The best nozzles we found to use were the raindrop ones, they had less drift of fertilizer getting all over the disc.

I have a mounted 20 foot Danish tooth field cultivator that I used for incorporating. Had saddle tanks on the tractor with a HM front boom. Added five row coil tine harrow behind on support brackets. Nice self-contained rig. Leaves a nice level seedbed.
