Q Fertiliser after Spray

adne · 2009-06-11 08:32:38

I sprayed some meadows yesterday eve that contained 50% weeds/Rushes. I would be hoping to get a good cut of Clean silage from this in Mid Aug. How long should I leave it before fertilising??

I think its something like 10 days because the spray can react with the fertilizer. It should have an animal withdrawal period on the spray bottle which will tell you how long before it is safe to graze animals over the sprayed ground - use this guideline for the fertilizer as well and it will be ok.
