Herbicides for grass in buckwheat

[Gut_Pile]

Is there anything that I can spray that will kill grass and not my buckwheat?

Thanks

If you have, at hand, clethodim + crop oil, it might be worth a try, on a small spot to begin with. Clethodim might take 3 weeks before you can "see" if you have a kill or not.

When did you plant? How tall is it? It matures in 70-90 days but if you are using it for soil improvement and multiple crops, it typically will get disced under in 40-50 days or so, to plant a new crop, unless you just want it to go to seed?

If you're going to disc it soon and you have clethodim, give it a try and see.

If cleth will work, Will, I think there is some on the shelf next to diesel fuel cans.

May be a small amount of crop oil in 2.5 g jug next to where the drill is normally parked.

I don't know why clethodim is not registered for buck wheat but sethoxdim which is poast is labeled. It does look like clethodim will ding up buckwheat from some of the research done on the west coast.

For food plots it probably doesn't matter because it reduced grain yield on buck wheat by about 15-30%
