Image # 1 Bermudagrass was beginning to move back into the sprayed strips.  Horsenettle was not damaged when sprayed with roundup in the early season.  In some places the alfalfa stand was not as dense as desired.
Image # 2 A little crabgrass encroached into the sprayed areas where there was little alfalfa.
Image # 3 The alfalfa plants were small but OK for a spring-sown stand that had been grazed for two months.
Image # 4 Alfalfa crowns were well-developed in the roundup-sprayed strips
Image #5 Alfalfa plants that became established in the roundup-sprayed strips were growing well.  Alfalfa plants in the non-sprayed bermudagrass are very small or dead.
Images # 6, 7, & 8 Alfalfa in the roundup-sprayed strips was clearly in drill rows.  The stand was less than would probably be found in a clean-tilled field, but more than adequate for pastures.

Image #9  Some areas of the roundup-sprayed strips have no alfalfa and bermudagrass has moved across the strips.
