Heating up Round-Up

[boarderbloke]

sumdumguy, we aerial sprayed some peas with transorb(432g/ac) 3 days before the heat hit, combined 10 days later. Odd thistle scattered through the field and found most had not turned brown. The thistles did seem dry enough, so there wasn't any earth tag. I too thought the 34-39 degree weather would help make things dry down quicker but I don't think it did. I think the thistles shut down too much during the hot week, and maybe didn't take up the chem so well. High 20's might have been better than high 30's. Just my observations. Peas look good, dry, decent colour, very little split due to the high heat. Maybe that's due to being smaller as we haven't had rain in 8 weeks, and needed one to help them finish plump.

ado,

Ally does a great job on lawns... lasts the whole season!

Tom, I used to sell piles of Ally 2,4-D for pastures. Poor man's grazon. There's a half rate in express pro.

Around the bin yard we add MCPA to the round up..

In the lawn we use Curtail M...

Anyone use Premium 3 Way for creeping charlie or Henbit in lawn?

Regardless of the tank mix partner for glyphosate, you won't get the value out of it without softening the water.

I have been using frontline extra MCPA for my lawn. With the added MCPA it has dandelion CONTROL. I could see exactly where I missed last year.

Roundup for lawns???? I use it to kill around edge of lawn.

Softened water, good idea. That may help. I heard of a farmer adding 50 gallons of liquid fertilizer to his Round Up. Kinda wondering if anyone else heard of that way to heat er up. Would be nice if it worked cause there would be negative residual and positive nutrients left behind to boot.

There was a farmer here who used deep well water and set up a water softening system for his spraying water. He had two 1000 gallon tanks to hold the treated water. Their glyphosate sure killed. Don't know how the system held up or kept up for that matter. They never used high water volumes per acre and did alot of drift damage. They left the industry in 04 the year if the August frost.

2 cups citric acid per 1000 gal.

With the high cost of chemicals, softening the water sounds cheap, citric acid is even sounds cheaper. Well worth the effort. Thanx

Li700 is another really good product.
I don't know if it would be considered a water conditioner but it definitely acts as a surfactant.
A good option if you are using a cheap glyphosate, as opposed to Weathermax, which is loaded with surfactant.
UAN does work well with glyphosate.
I really like it when spraying at the .33L/a. rate. It will fry the foxtail barley and small kochia a lot better without raising your rate of glyph.
