Joe's Thoughts
When using Glyphosate at lower rates, always add extra surfactant. In addition, when spraying in Western Kansas, Western Nebraska, or Eastern Colorado, the more aired climates, it seems to help to add extra surfactant and up the rate of water to 10 gallons per acre when weeds are under stress.
When using lower rates of Glyphosate, it is important to use the right nozzles. I like the XR Flat Fan Nozzles from Teejet or Delvan. Using these at 6 gallon per acre at 20-40 PSI gives you great coverage....and coverage is what it is all about. Don't forget to use drift retardant when spraying next to sensitive crops.
