Weed Spraying ' For the next several weeks, weed sprayers will be in operation on many farms beginning with the spraying of fall wheat, much of which has. already been sprayed, preplant incorporation; pre-emergence and post emergence sprays for corn, as well as the general weed spraying that takes place on our spri ins; and our newly seeded hay and pasture |, Whatever the job is, it is important that attention be paid to the proper weed control recommendations for optimum results. Before taking the weed sprayer to the field, it is important that the machine be checked to make sure that it is operating properly. Screens should be checked to make sure that they are clean, and nozzles should be checked to make sure that they are delivering the correct amount of spray material. ~~ To aid in sprayer calibration, spray check bottles are available at the Agricultural Office in Uxbridge at a cost of $1.00 each. The spray check bottle is used by simply placing it under each nozzle in turn for a specified time to make sure that the nozzles are all delivering the correct amount of material. If there is variation from one nozzle to another, it is obvious that the nozzles are worn and should be replaced before field spraying is started. : -- Secondly, it is important that the proper materials are used to control the weeds that are present. To aid in selecting the correct spray material to do the job, it is suggested that farmers refer to publication No. 75, the 1976 Guide to Chemical Weed Control. Timing is another important consideration, both from the standpoint of the weeds to be controlled and the crop to be sprayed. If selective: weed killers are applied too late, they are frequently in-effective, and only partial control is obtained. If newly seeded legumes are to be sprayed, it is important that the recommended sprays be used, and that they be applied when the new seedlings are between the first and third trifoliate leaves. Spring grains should be sprayed early, and not later than the 5th or 6th leaf stage of growth. Atrazine is a chemical that has been very useful in «controlling - weeds in our corn crops for the past several years. Frequently, however, we do run into problems from atrazine residues where spring grains or hay and pasture mixtures are to follow the corn. If this is the case in your programme, care should be taken to adhere closely to recommended practices and not to exceed the recommended rates. In certain cases, it is recommended that other chemicals replace atrazine on corn where legumes or spring grains are to be seeded the following year. Complete information on weed control is available at your local Ministry of Agriculture and Food office.
