Re: [Apple-Crop] Newbie Orchardist questions Herbicide on First Year Plantings

Try Scythe made by Gowan. It is quite a bit more expensive but also quite a
bit safer for someone new to the practice. It works similarly to Gramoxone
when used at the higher labeled rates.

Doug: Here is a good list of herbicides and when to apply them. 
(http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/I/IPM-0011/IPM-0011.pdf).
there are a few that you may be able to use.. (for example Gromaxone, Rely, 
Fusilade, Post) read the label, but a hooded sprayer and protection of the tree 
trunk are highly encouraged.

I have a new tall spindle orchard planted in an alfalfa field this spring.  I 
did not realize how much work it would be to mechanically weed the orchard. All 
the orchards I have visited have told me not to use herbicides for the first 
year on newly planted trees. There is a conventional nursery across the street 
that uses barrier on new trees.

Does anyone have a herbicide they are using on new trees or stick to mechanical?

I have a new tall spindle orchard planted in an alfalfa field this spring.  I 
did not realize how much work it would be to mechanically weed the orchard. All 
the orchards I have visited have told me not to use herbicides for the first 
year on newly planted trees. There is a conventional nursery across the street 
that uses barrier on new trees. 
Does anyone have a herbicide they are using on new trees or stick to mechanical?
