Durana Clover

I copy and paste well.

Clover looking good again with all this rain. I need to know what to spray to kill these weeds in my plot. Clethodim or 24db

Don't know much but I know clethodim will only kill grass. The 2,4db will kill the weeds but I think you have to mix it correctly so it doesn't hurt the clover.

I sprayed both this year to get broadleaf and grass. DID NOT MIX the 24DB and Clethodim per recommendations. 24DB 3 oz per gallon NO SURFACTANT. Clethodim .5 oz per gallon w/ .5 oz per gallon surfactant. Worked well!

Fyi...I used 16oz of clethodim on my acre clover plot. It smoked the crabgrass but the clover and chicory were fine.

The 2-4db needs some kind of crop oil or surfactant. The label is best but if you’re ever unsure look at the chemical. If it’s watery, it probably needs it. If it’s thick and oily like Roundup, it usually doesn’t.

That's what I thought but after reading on some other forums and also on the label, "Use Butyrac in water only. No Surfactant or Crop Oil needed" I did not add surfactant to the Butyrac 200 (ie 24DB). I did add surfactant to the Clethodim. Apparently a lot of people mix 24DB and Clethodim but I sprayed separately as this was the consensus. Did a great job of knocking back the grass and broadleaf in my clover.

That means to not mix it in liquid fertilizer, you would have to use a surfactant if you tank mixed it.

Here is my sprayer setup. Chapin 25 gallon mix on exit. Just stayed the bahia in my clover/chicory plot and then gly in my newly cleared plot. So far it works great. Notice the redneck engineering and yes, I am a zip tie professional. I think we use them even more than duck tape.
