3 days of Summer, then rain, then Fall again
9-28-26
We are in a week where we have tens of thousands of acres ready to defoliate in Virginia. The early defoliation is working well, no matter what recipe was used. With the possiblity of rain this weekend, and cooler during the early part of next week, my recommendation is to spray eveything that is ready this week by Wednesday so it can benefit from three hot days. This also lets us use lower rates of some of our ingredients. I would not use any Def with Finish and only about 4 or 5 ounces with the three way program. Still favorable weather will exist through the end of the week (at least through Friday) its just that it will be right in front of rain and cooler weahterr and the speed of defoliation will slow down significantly compared to spraying early this week.
