Round up and food plot seed.

Unread postby ozzz » Sun Aug 09, 2015 3:05 pm

Is it OK to seed a plot and hit it with glyphosphate at the same time?

No, most Round Up solutions contain a Diquot mixture which slows down seed germination, sometimes for many months. For optimal results wait 48 hours+ until all of the Glyphosate and potentially Diquot are gone before seeding.

Most...no. The extended control stuff in your home and garden section does. This stuff also kills roundup ready crops....

You said gly, so I assume you are cutting 41% gly. Gly only works on living plants, not seeds. Spray away and plant. I've been doing it for a long time as have others. Honestly, this question gets brought up all the time in the habitat forums. The answer hasn't changed.

It will work fine....

The best way is to spray to kill.... wait 7-10 days... spread seed and maybe some fert... then cut it or weed whip it so u have a thatch over seed to hold moisture.

This is an awesome way to no till. The cut/weed whip is key in sandier soils like your well leached plot.

I need to know what I can do for ants. Went to spray and got a bad attach...red ants with the mounds. They were all over everything.

To take care of the ants: find a granular bifenthrin insecticide. You will probably have the best luck finding it at a pest control supply store, John Deere Landscapes, or other; typically not Lowe's Home Depot, or Ace.
JD has Lesco brand Crosscheck...use as the directions say & you should be able to knock em out. One thing though: treat the mound and the rest of the ground in question. If you treat just the mound, they will abandon the mound, go underground & start a new mound 50 or 100 feet away. Hope that makes sense & good luck!

I sprayed once a few weeks ago. Was just thinking of hitting it again while I seed especially spots I may have missed. Yes, using fly concentrate.

I was told to wait a week. I use prosecutor pro which is from round up but under a different name and a lot cheaper. That stuff will kill anything in it's path.

I just ran out of the PP so I am using vinagur and some dish soap and it kills pretty dang well also.
