gmil6184 Some of the generic Glyphosates do have a surfactant, such as Strikeout Extra and it will work as is. But additional surfactants/adjuvants will help aid the Gly and shorten kill time. Dishwashing soap can be and is used, however Gly is somewhat sudsy/foamy and I prefer to use AMS (Ammonium Sulfate) its a form of nitrogen and works well. I use a tank sprayer and add 4lbs of AMS per 25 gallons. In your case, it would take aproximately 5ozs in 2 gallons of water, along with Gly.

I use quite a bit of Gly+AMS and see results fairly quikly, at 2 qts per acre. A lot depends on the weather though.

Here's a few pics of a Gly+AMS "Burndown"

This field was sprayed on 5/11/09, and you can see some signs of dieing already.


And here's what it looks like 8 days later, only a few tuff weeds still have a bit of green showing, but they will be history by next week.




Be sure to read and follow the label/MSDS. Used corectly it's hard to beat in fields and food plots.
