Nitrogen is a great tank additive to increase herbicide efficacy. It cuts down surface tension, and will speed up translocation. Use urea for sulfonyl ureas and AMS for all other herbicides.Movingshrub said:Guess that's a no
@thegrassfactor I saw your slow release and urea videos. You mentioned you would do a video on ammonical nitrogen. Any chance you will touch on the pros/cons of adding fertilizer to a tank spray, specifically in regards to herbicides?
I intend to ask the same question for UTs poa day in advance since I won't be able to watch the live stream.
Rey is one if my biggest inspirations. When I got out of school, I realized how little I knew. I am likely his biggest fan. And I'll fight you for that title 😂😂😂ABC123 said:I've heard about people adding citrus acid and urea to the tanks. There's a great foliar applicator on LawnSite that runs a business in Hawaii that I think would be great if he found this site.
It's the combination of modes of action. For instance, if you're doing a complete kill on Bermuda with bits of nutsedge, the monument plus gly will give you a very thorough kill. The gly plus fusilade will give you a thorough kill. Gly alone will only ding them both. More modes of action, more attack methods on the plant, a more complete death.Movingshrub said:@Greendoc why the monument or sedgehammer? What rates would you have to apply if using those, and does doing so get you down to a quicker kill in terms of timeline? I had assumed four apps of glyphosate, with optional fusillade, would do the job.
The fusillade and triclopyr I get.
