Safe to Spray Oats With 2 4-D
Hardin County extension director Dick Pulse says oats can be sprayed with 2 4 D for weed control except during two growth periods when injury may occur. He notes about 500 000 acres were sprayed statewide last year and urges spraying when oats are 6 12 inches tall for best weed kill while protecting tillers and early flower formation. Airplane spraying can be used at ripening to dry big weeds for easier combining.
