Avadex works out to $18 ahead of canary and very seldom works

[malleefarmer]

Your avadex is $ 18 per litre?

Generic or original?

[Guest]

not sure , just know a few friends use it ahead of canary every year and they say it costs $18/ac
and most years they use puma in crop which isn't much better
i don't use avadex , probably someone on here can answer that question

You guys have lost me.

Treflan avadex common brew here 1.6 l per ha of each min rate, tref $7 per litre avadex $10

Higher rainfall guys use 2 litres per ha each your rates must be way higher .

Rates per acre:

Liquid: 1 to 1.9 liters per acre

Granular: 4.5 to 8.9 kg per acre 9.9 to 19.58 lbs per acre.

I don't know pricing right now.

I will leave the "per hectare" math up to you mallee.

Metric application rate on imperial land size guessing i wouldny cut it as a prairie farmer.

9 mm of rain last night steady for about 3 hours and prospect of 10 to 20 mm monday if it occurs weve finished up nicely not quite copybook year but close

Have you tried paraquat, or mixed with diquat?

Youd do just fine.

I'm all fubarred when it comes to metric vs imperial. I use US gal/ac for nozzles, but measure my fuel in miles per imperial gallon when I'm trucking, but am just as comfortable reading L/100km when I'm driving my personal vehicles.

Glyphosate is put down in grams of active per acre, but 2-4D and dicamba in oz's/acre.

I'm more comfortable with farenheit for temperature gauges in equipment, and outdoor temp during the growing season, but find more utility in Celcius for outdoor temps in the winter.

Distances are feet, yards, rods, and miles on the farm, but kilometers and km/h when im on the highway...

Liquid capacities in metric are generally preferred. But then my truck has a 96L gas tank, and my slip tank is 150US gallons. My Pete has two 150us gal tanks, but I know it's been a long day when I stuff 900L into those tanks at the fuel island.

My toolchest has two types of wrenches... standard, and phucked up.

And I'm 35...

Are you 35 Imperial years or metric years?

Good question... I suppose neither. It'd be Pontiff Gregory XIII years. I mean at least I've progressed beyond Roman measures.
