any trick on getting rid of ferns in my plot

[turkeyreaper]

I have many ferns in my food plot this year (Rape), I rushed threw the preperation and did not roundup well enough before I planted. Any tricks to the trade to get rid of these without killing off my food plot???

Use the wick method like vegetable farmers do. Put roundup on just the plant you want destroyed,. I would make a concentrate a llittle heavy, maybe 4 oz. to a gallon and put in a spray bottle like windex and spray on the individual plant, it's going to take a while if you have a lot of ferns, but it is systemic and will work.

thats the way I do nut-grass in my wife's flowers.one plant at a time.

If the ferns are taller than the rape you can use a wick bar. That will keep the round-up off the rape. I suggest killing it all and starting over with something more attractive.

do what ron m suggested, but i would recommend using a 2 gallon pump type sprayer with a trigger wand. much easier and more accurate than a windex bottle. you can probably spot spray an acre in about 30 minutes or less.

add an adjuvant, spray marker and a surfactant to your roundup mixture.
