Anyone use or have used imperial arrest? Im new to the food plot thing, I love it so far, just want to help my plots along as much as I can, thanks

Ask your local co-op for Poast herbicide. Same thing, lower price usually. Arrest is simply Whitetail Institute's brand name.

psandhu

or you can look for a generic form of sethoxydim. same thing as poast.

OK, So just ask for poast or sethoxydim herbicide. and follow the bottles directions? do I need to dilute it,or apply ina certain manner? thanks for the info..

GrayDawg

Just remember- sethoxydim, the active ingredient in Arrest or Poast, will kill all grasses! Brassicas and Rye grass is in Extreme, No Plow & Secret Spot.

If you have a Clover, Alfalfa or Chickory only plot- you can use sethoxydim without adverse results.However, ifyou have any type of grasses in your plot & you use Arrest or Poast or anything else containing sethoxydim, you will kill the grass in the plot.

Thanks! good to know, what would I use if have weeded brassica plot

psandhu

2,4-d

M.Magis

If I'm not mistaken, 2,4,D will kill brassicas, which are a broadleaf, not a grass.

psandhu

2,4-d will kill any broadleaf but will leave grasses alone.

Clethodim or Sethoxydim will kill grasses but leave broadleafs alone. You can get Sethoxydim in smaller quantities from a variety of manufacturers. Clethodim's smallest quantity is 1 gallon (200+ bucks), that's enough to treat about 20 acres.

M.Magis

Correct. I'm saying that using 2,4-D in a brassica plot willkill all broadleaf plants, including the brassicas. They are not a grass.
