My buddy wants to spray his food plot and this stuff seems pricey, $40 for a pint that will treat an acre. Supposed to kill grasses but leave the food plants unharmed.
I know there has to be a generic alternative to Whitetail Institute products.

In my clover plot, I use clethodim to kill the grasses and butyrac 200 for broadleaf weeds if mowing doesn't keep the broadleafs at bay. Both WAY cheaper than WI versions.

I get my clethodim here

Free shipping on all orders.
A pint does an acre.
It is highly recommended that you use a surfactant with this product.

Tractor Supply has Gordons Pasture Pro for grasses. Would that work and not affect the food plot plantings? Gordons also has Amine 2 4 D for broadleaf. Will that affect crops?

I also use both of these.

2 4 D will kill the clover. You want Butyrac 200...which is 2 4 D-B, OK to use on clover.

delphic93 is dead on with his suggestions for a much less expensive approach. To say WI stuff is way overpriced is a huge understatement.

Delphic is spot on. If your buddy has chicory in his clover the butyrac will kill it though.

I use 1-1.5 pint gly/acre on established plots when clover is not stressed (ample water). Cheap and I always have it around.
