Depends on what you want to kill. If you want to kill everything, glysophate. This year, I had a fair amount of crimson clover growing in my summer plots that I didn't want to kill, so I sprayed Clethodim to kill the foxtail, crabgrass, and sorghum still alive in the plots after mowing.

I spray & wait 10-14 days, sow, mow & cultipack. This year it laid there over 3 weeks before rain & got good germination. Only 2nd year to do this process

I used to do the "spray, wait, then mow" technique, but once I started mixing sorghum into my summer plots, it became nearly impossible to spray it standing. The picture below doesn't do justice to how tall my sorghum got. In places it was over 6 feet tall. How do you spray that and hope to get herbicides all the way to the ground?

I've planted a shorter variety of grain sorghum that's approximately 4 feet tall.i raised my sprayer above and had no problems getting a good spray. I've also planted Egyptian wheat that was way too tall (10+ feet ) to spray. I am using a HOT gly @ 3 qts per with 20 gallons of water while spraying early mornings while dew is available. Just a suggestion.

With tall sorghum (or the year I planted Sunn Hemp) it won't work. I tried it. I did not get a good kill. But those plots I mowed first, I got a very good kill.

Personally, I've tried both methods: spray first and wait versus mow and spray after. I'm amazed that I've experienced equal success if the summer growth is low, but much better results with mow-then-spray if summer growth is tall.

never of heard spraying gly while the plants were wet from dew. I always thought the plants needed to be dry and the gly needed to dry on the plant for best effect. What is the advantage of spraying early morning when plants are covered in dew?

I was wondering too. If using glufosinate the label even recommends waiting until mid morning & 90+ degrees before spraying. Since I mix it with gly, I've followed their advise the past two years & it was scorched earth even on the tall stuff
