Tips/advice for Liberty link corn and beans

T-Nason · Nov 26, 2021

Hello guys,
So I decided to go with liberty link this year for corn and beans. I wanted something that will help our grass, rag weed and mares tail. Im curious on what some of your spray regimes are. Any tips tricks? Im newer to this more advanced spraying stuff, use to 2-4d and roundup!

Have your liberty herbicide bought now too. It is in critically short supply. You will not get any next late spring!

Need to spray Liberty when it is hot and humid. The hotter and humid er it is the better. It will take down weeds the size of small trees then. Spray it when it is 68 degrees and you wish you had a jacket and it wont hurt small weeds very much....

This is why it has come to work better on beans than on corn.

Beans have few options for some of the nasty broadleaves. Corn you could find cheaper alternatives that work well on broadleaves.

So, Liberty, spray when it is stifling hot and humid, use real AMS not the easy liquid fake stuff, use real granular AMS, and it helps to use more water than less. 15 gallons an acre or more.

Liberty is not the best for grass so use round up with it.

If his seed is not both liberty and roundup compatible he can't use round up. We spray a preemerge post plant and then I sprayed with liberty and Cadet last year. I'm being told Cadet is no longer made. With a Pre we use something with Metribuzin /sencor in for the Marestail and the liberty will get what gets through the pre. For this year I will be looking at Liberty and something have not talked with them yet since we are still mudding things out of the field. Started raining in October when beans should have been gotten out and still raining about every 3rd or 4th day. Cut a few beans earlier that were dry. I put a bout 3000 bushel in bin at 14 with fan on. Will be shipping them in Jan probably. Corn will be going in shortly at about 17-18 and be out in Jan just surge for the short elevator hours now.

For corn you can over the top post emerge with Capreneo and Atrazine with Roundup cheaper than the Liberty and works well as a broad leaf and grass program. I sprayed some corn for planting back to alfalfa last spring so will be using something for the hay ground this spring. Probably Oats and interseed the alfalfa.

It is roundup compatible as well

I had a very small patch of wirestem muhly until a major flood spread it to 110 acres of bottom ground. Liberty only stunted it and did not kill it. When Round Up was approved with Round Up Ready corn was I able to get rid of it. Good Luck on your weed control!
