So I cultivated a spot that get aduquet light and water and planted throw and grow extreme radish after cultivating I raked all the debris out and planted and water the plot well the weeds grow up quicker than the food plot the reed Canaries grass is now 8-10 inches and the food plot is only 1-2 inches I am worried if I spray it I am gonna kill the stuff I want But if I use a push lawn mower and cut the plot so that nock the weeds down enough the allow the food plot to to choke out the weeds. would that work.

The T&G is a blend of seeds to my understanding. The grass you see growing is probably annual ryegrass, which is usually added to "green up" a food plot and make it look more appealing to consumers. It's also a lot cheaper than the other seed and will grow just about anywhere, which is really how the throw and grow works.
Post a picture if you can. If the grass is the only weed and it's ryegrass, it's actually part of the food plot. If there are other grasses in it as well, you can't really kill the weed grasses without also killing the ryegrass.
If you are just wanting to get rid of all of the grasses (including the ryegrass), you need a grass selective herbicide such as Clethodim. Clethodim works great on grasses but won't kill your broadleaf plants like radish, rape, clover, etc.
Killing off the ryegrass may leave too much bare dirt and allow the weed pressure to get even worse. If grasses make up the majority of the plot and you choose to spray with Clethodim, top seed with more broadleaf seeds such as a Clover. That will help cover the ground and keep the weeds at bay.
Sorry for the long response, but I know did plots can be frustrating. Hope that helps

If you only mow, the grass will grow back instead of killing it. Mowing will help delay growth and may knock it back enough that it will let your plot catch up and choke it out if it’s think enough. If it isn’t, clethodim and top seeding clover seed is your best bet.
