Paraquat stubble planting is the moisture-saving way to get soybeans off to a fast, vigorous start. There's no plowing or disking, so soil at planting depth isn’t dried by sun and wind The moisture saved improves chances of getting an early, uniform stand. Your beans will probably emerge to a full stand well ahead of your neighbor’s conventionally planted crop. You get the above advantages ... and more ... by planting directly into undisturbed crop stubble and weeds. A pre-emergence application of ORTHO Paraquat CL is all you need to prepare your seedbed Paraquat knocks down even heavy surface vegetation, killing annual weeds and grasses and burning back perennials, Soybeans emerge without competition for moisture and nutrients .. and there’s more moisture to get ’em on their way Eliminating preplant tillage also holds cockleburs in check You don’t turn under cocklebur seeds on the soil surface .. or turn up seed that can germinate later. Using Paraquat (alone or with Lorox®) instead of plowing and disking also saves time, labor and equip ment .. conserves fuel . cuts production costs by $5 to $lO per acre . reduces compaction and improves chances of early planting TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL STUBBLE PLANTING Field Selection. Select fields with heavy soils.- Avoid fields that are deeply rutted or infested with Johnson grass, Bermudagrass, Smartweed or Marestail. If there are too many of these weeds to spot treat, use mechanical tillage and rotate between conventional and stubble planting. Before Planting* Apply 2,4-D if fields are infested with broadleaf weeds Spray at least 90 days before planting At Planting. Use a ho tillage planter or similar equip ment that can penetrate stubble and untilled soil.
