The pre-emerge I used this year was called Broadaxe. I caught rain just right after putting it out and it has really held the other stuff back. Another brand name I’ve used before is Authority Elite, which is the same shite I believe. It works well too

Yeah, they’re the same... I used it also. We plant ours in super heavy buckshot (old catfish ponds) and it worked awesome where I got a good rain on some of it, then half a mile down the road I got just enough rain to help get the sunflowers up, but not enough to seal the cracks so the chemical didn’t incorporate worth a shite. Came back with Select, Blazer, and Zidua under a dolphin nose hooded sprayer to clean up the middles and am just going to let what’s growing within the little 3 or 4 inch planted area go.

The plane also killed about 20% of ours with Roundup drift. So I have like 5 acres of coffee weeds with an occasional sunflower that survived, 10 acres of good looking sunflowers and some coffee weeds (but at least the middles are clean), and 10 acres of the most beautiful sunflowers around.
