Guys going Mental over spray additives

[bgmb]

Why are guys going crazy over spray additives this year, li700, micro this phos that... ams and on and on..... and on...

Give your heads a shake boys its the old up sell trick!!!!! Active ingredient kills weeds not snake oil!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

well, liberty kills sfa and needs a snake oil, lol

[bgmb]

fine drops, lots of water and slow ground speed

Liberty with ams kills cleaners. Don't knock it till you try it

I am not promoting the use of additives because I don't do it. But if you do it to condition bad water, which might enhance the herbicide's efficacy and add other "stuff" to mitigate some crop stress/damage, is there really anything wrong with it.

Problem is I can't recommend anything because I don't do anything or know the effects if there are any to be had.

Hard to believe a micro dose of micros would make a difference...or what ever.

Conditioning bad water is a known fact for glyphosate and glufosinate(Liberty) and 2,4D amine.

I am a believer in big water, slow speeds, low booms, and smaller droplets.

LIBERTY IS A CONTACT HERBICIDE...NOT SYSTEMIC. Use it like it was intended to be used. Do you set your combine between crops or just jump in and combine everything from peas to canola with the same settings?

Use LI700 every time I spray glyphosate. It conditions my dugout water and I like the results. Doesn't seem to take a lot of product to improve the water, so I don't find it so costly.

It stinks about as bad as anything I've ever put in a sprayer though!

Some of this stuff is just homeopathy for crops

Border, we are using LI 700 this year as well with the glyphosate to help reduce drift and help the dugout water. That stuff does stink something fierce!!! Not sure because it is vegetable based but yeah man it smells real bad.

It is nice to spray peas without near killing them .
Not even losing a shade of green and no delay in growth.
Peas that are yellowed off even a bit loose 4-5 days plus yield . Peas that are very yellowed off could loose 20% plus yield and 5-10 days maturity. That is proven by replicated plot data BTW.

I would not spray any group 2 without ortho or micro's .
Anytime you injury a plant with herbicide it will be far more susceptible to diseases and delayed maturity.

There are times i wish i was on the crop inputs side. Farmers will literally buy anything and convince themselves its really doing something.

Lots of great testimonials.
Always wondered when Canadian retailers would pick up on the American system and give up on data and just say it will solve all your problems.
It's all good if your happy.

To hell with science and yield trials lets look at pictures of roots.
