jimbo86 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 i use Amaize, no idea about price though. Unless you have masses of maize you won't use a lot, normally get 2 seasons out of one can as it is 2 litres per 100l of water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianb Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 We spray with stomp when drilling which takes care of most weeds. Sometimes we have to use Jester at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillmouse Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 There are going to be some disasters this year. Most maize I have seen is bright yellow, turning purple, drilled far too soon considering the weather and the weeds are taking over. The stressed plants will suffer more due to weed competition and spraying will be risky. The best maize I have seen is still in the bag waiting for conditions to be correct. I will bet it comes out in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ours is in but has only sent down roots- no upgrowth yet. Far to cold for anything to get booming, no weed problems yet either due to temp. Praying for sun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmos05 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 My maize being in 5 days. Still think its plenty early enough despite the weather but it doesn't grow in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch valley Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 We let our covers green up a bit with weeds then spray wit a pre emergence. Then drill straight in any problems we go over it with Jester. We will probably be drilling ours Wednesday if this sun keeps out I find it always best to drill into a warm seed bed maize and Millet otherwise the weeds will over take it and the maize wont compete. We have just put 50 tones of chicken muck on all of our cover strips to help get things going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
