Always love the food plot videos man, question for you. I don’t know anything about planting corn, but what is the point or reason for cultivating around the corn again?
38in rows. In the past we did a few little sections of no spray only cultivating and it turned out good too. But definitely a little weedy in the row near the plant.
I just heard Don Higgins say in a recent podcast if you plant the nutricrave next to other corn it will cross pollinate and you won’t get as good of results .
Over the winter, this experiment, from last year, yielded decisive results. Why bother with the nutri crave when the deer basically ignore it for field corn?
I wouldn’t say they ignored it. They ate it about the same as the field corn. Supposedly the NutriCrave gains a lot of its nutrients late in the dry down phase. Last yr was 108 NutriCrave and was planted mid-late May. This is 100 day planted early May so it should have plenty of time to dry down and we’ll see if that has a difference.
Both these stands of corn we only cultivated twice. Some other areas I sprayed simazine a little heavier we didn’t need to cultivate at all. I’m pretty happy with the control I’m able to get using simazine compared to years of not putting down a pre.
@wisconsinwhitetail9744 glad it works, I'm in central Wisconsin and have the same issues with water hemp pigweed and don't have a weed where I sprayed but the fall plot I didn't spray is full of them until I sprayed to get ready for fall plots
