Guys going Mental over spray additives

[farmaholic]

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?

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.

Pretty simple to do your own side by side trial. If it works for you then try it next year.

Look at the Rack's trials - over 6000 replicated trials of data over three locations - seen it first hand plus what I did here - dyodd , your call .
Oh yes tweety they were replicated trials - many replicated trials .
Do what you wish but an average 25% yield advantage caught my attention - plus I seen it first hand . But what do I know .
Oh and I don't sell it ........

Absolutely zero yellow flash with full rate viper, sprayed at night , plus 30 next day ....
All other peas in area sprayed with odyssey or viper flashed bad and shut down at least 4 days , some have been a week. That hurts yield and greatly increases disease risk . But that's ok they sell headline to fix that . Keep drinking that kook aid - you will get burnt . But again do what the Wizards tell ya, it will grow through it - lol

Yeah I am sure .000000001 lb per AC of a few micros is giving you a 25 Perce t yield bump

[furrowtickler]

Look at the data , or try yourself . Proof in the field.
The micros are just enough to keep the plant going and not flash/stall. That's where the yield can come from .
Plants that miss 5-7 days of growing this time of year is huge . It's about keeping the plant healthy
