I buy ours at Humboldt coop but went back to buying it in jugs last year because we custom spray and some want it some don't easier to bill

1. pH is a measure of free hydrogens. Hard water refers to the presence of free cations such as calcium, magnesium and or sodium.
2. Roundup works in a wide range of pH so products like Phix are generally unnecessary. Hence the money grab comment. Retails want to sell farmers addins for glyphosate because margins are so slim on the herbicide.
3. Many farmers put AMS with roundup when it is absolutely not necessary ie, they don't have hard water... expecting an increase in efficacy. AMS helps if you have very hard water or a small number of weed species with elevated calcium levels eg velvet leaf.
4. If you have a reasonably good water source and use proper roundup products with surfactants already included, save your money for a tank mix partner to decrease herbicide resistance.
5. Everything a retail does is to improve margin for themselves. Everything they sell, they upsell to what is best for them profit wise.Last edited by tweety; Apr 1, 2017, 21:54.
