Yes.

 

Clethodim is a grass specific herbicide. The brassica family is not impacted by it use.

 

Awesome...... Thanks for the fast responses. Probably hit up TSC or Family, Quality & Farm later today - Is any brand better than others? What would be the usage/loading for a 4 gallon backpack sprayer?

 

I use 4-6 oz of cleth with 12 oz of crop oil in my 4 gallon backpack sprayer. You will need crop oil.

 

All, Thanks again for the feedback and insight.....

 

2.5 Gallons

1 Gallon - 2019 price

 

I’ve purchased Clethodim from Rural King in the past. I’m not sure about crop oil. You must use crop oil for it to be effective. Try your local elevators for crop oil.

 

Keystone pest solutions has cleth for $70 for 1 gallon

 

That is a good price CJS180, and even with shipping costs sometimes you can still save money a Keystone or Rural King. The crop oil price was what I just bought at my local Feed Mill. The $94 for Cleth was either at the same feed mill or maybe TSC.

 

Have you planted turnips and radishes this early in the past with success ?

L & O

 

Not sure if you were asking me or Hartland Hunter L&O, but I have planted brassicas as early as July 4th weekend many times here in the U.P. I like to get at least 60 days growth on them before average first frost date which is mid-September here, so I want the seed in/on the ground by mid-July. For southern lower Michigan - early to mid-August is probably fine.

We don't have any rain in the forecast for quite a while here but as soon as I get some moisture in the ground I will be planting brassicas. Radish, especially seem to benefit from a longer growing season.

 

Planted early to mid-July in the U.P....

They grow long season (100+ days) "Swedes" (Rutabagas). I keep saying that I am going to try them (along with radish) one of these years....just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Always amazes me what deer eat when in different areas. My purple top turnips do not get touched until after the season is over. January-february

 

I plant now. The tops of the radishes get 4-5 feet tall.
I love how thick they get. Hard to see small deer in them sometimes.
