Surely lots of folks have had this problem.....invasive spring rye. I know about herbicides and when. What I am interested in is how mature can a seed pod on a stem of rye be and not re-seed? I (guess) I realize that once the plant dies the seed is ready to overseed the field, but what about the seeds on stems that get cut before the plant is mature?
I have a Bermuda patch I need to get Bermuda off but the Rye has just taken over and since it is a spring grass and Bermuda waits till it gets hot.....tough luck. I tried bailing it last year but I rolled it and the bales didn't last the season in the weather....just rotted. I planted some GMO Rye in another field and it did ok against the weather, same baling person (me), equipment, technique and all that.
I did a lot of www surfing and all I got was poison it or how to grow it.
Thanks,
Mark
