[Syrupmakers] Hows Everyones Sugar Cane Looking?

[DBACrownhoney at aol.com]

I'm only gonna use this cane for more seed cane for next year. so the taste  
doesn't really matter.
 
 
I've been using a weedeater also.

JT, 
Most growers refrain from adding any nitrogen after about July  1---to avoid 
salty syrup later. I'd say that IF you added any nitrogen  now to use it 
sparingly and use nitrate forms like Potassium Nitrate,  for example---a form that 
won't hang around long in the soil. Using  nitrogen late in the year can cause 
syrup to be darker. 
I don't know any spray that can be used safely now to kill the  grass and not 
the cane. We are currently beginning to use the weedeater  around the cane 
and lawn mower in the middles.

Mine just started jumping.(in central Miss.) This is my 1st  year so it may 
be normal, but the cane seems to be jumping a few  inches a day. It's a little 
dry, but it's sprinkling outside now. I  also thought that I didn't get a very 
good stand, but that stuff  sure does bush out and take up a lot of space now 
that it's bigger.  

Is there anything I can spray right now to kill the grass  and not the cane?
If I can get that under control I should be doing good.
 
Is it time to apply some nitrogen?
 
 
Thanks,
JT
