The 4 to 5” of rain much of West Tennessee saw last Thursday 4/11/13 was not good on the wheat, particularly in poorly drained fields. Winter wheat that went under water may have to be planted back to another crop. Knowing when and what herbicides were applied to flood damaged wheat is a major consideration on a potential recrop decision. Harmony Extra XP which is used on most wheat acres in Tennessee has a 14 day plant back restriction to several row crops. Osprey and Axial the herbicides we commonly used to control ryegrass have considerably longer recrop intervals. Below please find the recrop intervals for our commonly used herbicides in wheat:
Herbicide | Grain Sorghum | Corn | Cotton | Soybean |

Harmony Extra XP | 14 days | 14 days | 14 days | 14 days |
