I and several other no-tillers do just that, 75,000 pop tops on DC beans. We harvest our own so figure if we just get our seed costs back, and maybe pay for a trip with the sprayer it's better than not doing anything. Our biggest kweshun is how much "N" did we get from a burnt up crop in a drought year, if the general rule of thumb is 1# nodulated "N" per bushel harvested? Some years the plants were healthy right up till the heat continued right on through pod set in September and the plant finally gave up. If we coulda licked them all off the ground, there was maybe 5 bushel, but I certainly hope it nodulated more than that. Anyone have any experience on that aspect of the bean plant?
