In a RR corn food plot I got good kill on everything but this weed. Soil is loam over blue/gray clay. Phosphates not used there in last two years. Not sure what it is or how to control it. Any input would be appreciated.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Is that also called mare's tail? Mare's tail is a weed that has developed considerable RR resistance for several years already.

I think its hard to kill because it doesn't have leaves per se, to absorb any spray chemical.

Field horsetail is correct. Extremely tough to get rid of, though for a food plot it's not too big of deal. I don't think it's a huge nutrient thief. 2,4D is said to control it some, I would hit it pretty hard. As mentioned, it doesn't absorb a lot of herbicide.

Thanks for the replies everyone. As M.Magis said, it is only in a food plot but I still like a clean look. Will attempt to cultivate prior to putting down additional urea in the next 2 weeks.

Very common plant in the Cretaceous Period , ending 65 m years ago. If it is a food plot then that is a good thing the high silica content aids in the deer metabolism.

Cultivating actually makes them spread worse.

Does a state college have a county extension office close by? They can be a great resource for ag related questions

The biodynamic folks put it in a blender make a green spray and spray it on everything to stop powdery mildew. Supposed to have enough silica to work tolerably well as a general fungicide.

those plant rhyzomes are at the A/C soil level so tilling just multiplies them

You guys are great! Thank you for the replies and PM's. My standard practice with plots has rototilling about every other year. This was a tillage year. With treatments that were sent to me, I will try to get it treated after the rain stops here for a day or so.

Much appreciated,
Dave
