Control Italian Ryegrass
from Field To Yield: Crops & Comments Hosted by Geoff Reeves
Every March, Italian ryegrass shows up armored, oversized, and resistant to nearly every herbicide group in the toolbox — by the time you can see it, it's too late. On this episode we aim to lay out the fall program that actually works. We break down Geoff Reeves' October burndown strategy: pairing Liberty Ultra (glufosinate) + AMS to wipe out early emerged seedlings, layered with a Zidua SC or Anthem Flex (pyroxasulfone) residual — anchored with the adjuvant Infuse so winter rain doesn't wash the barrier below the germination zone. Then we get into the cover crop debate: why bin-run winter wheat, not cereal rye, is Geoff's pick for physically choking out ryegrass without overwhelming your planter, tying up nitrogen come spring and most importantly -- simply giving the farmer options. If you grow row crops anywhere ryegrass is a problem, this is the fall checklist to have locked in now.
