Trouble in food plot

[Deer Farmer]

I have some kind of mustard/turnip looking plants that have taken over two of my plots. I have harrowed and sprayed all spring and summer trying to kill this mess. I planted only wheat this fall just to see if it would come back and it has. What do I need to do to get rid of this mess. Thanks for the help in advance!

Considering how many turnip/mustard looking plants are planted intentionally for deer, it might not be a bad thing to have brassicas coming up naturally. Probably some kind of cress or mustard. Do the deer eat it? Got any pics?

I will take a closer picture when I’m on the ground but I had it for a couple of years and they really not crazy about it like my other plots

Yeah, if you can get a good close-up pic, we may be able to figure out what it is. In general, 2,4-d or triclopyr will kill most broadleaves without killing most grasses.

Free deer food.

Looks like wild radish. Deer generally eat it.

24d will kill it easily now, if it gets much bigger you'll loose efficacy. But you will ding up the wheat since it looks a bit small for 24d, mcpa would be better. Adding harmony extra to it would help as well.

That mess just takes over and I use to have wonderful plots there with plenty of deer. Now only a few deer come and don’t really eat this mess

Well try making it look like a garden. Then they will eat it.....
