Best weed killer concentrate for bulk spraying
Posted on 9/15/20 at 1:43 pm
Posted on 9/15/20 at 1:43 pm
Built a boom sprayer attachment for my 25 gallon sprayer tank that I plan to use to spray plots prior to planting and maintaining trails etc.
Any recommendations on a good commercially available concentrate to use? Is roundup my best choice?

I use the compare and save 41% glyphosate (sp). It’s a gallon of concentrate. The label says it makes 85 gallons. It’s $26.99 on Amazon

Did you use a sprinkler head for the boom sprayer?

I purchase something very similar at farm supply store about 25 miles from Houston. 2 1/2 gallons for $68. Makes 5 or 6 barrels of spray. Deadly on grass but the larger the leaf the tougher it is to kill them. Poison Ivy and other types of ivy it knocks out rapidly. Mistakenly hit our Oleanders a few times on low branches and it didn't touch them. I don't even worry about hitting the oleanders anymore.

does not sound like it is a problem for your application, but if you want to improve add 24d

Yes, I spray 3-4 oz/gallon roundup then add 1oz/gallon of 2-4D, works great on plots and smokes privet hedges!

Watch the residual on the 2-4D. Stuff can linger for a few weeks.

Glyphosphate in the 2.5 gallon white bucket from Tractor supply for $45.00 for 2.5 gallon.
I just finished this project for you. All the other stuff does not kill this or that. Prosecutor, ($95.00) for 2.5 a gallon would kill everything but grass. My pastures look amazing. I tried so many chemicals it will make your head spin.
2-4 D. If you have farmers around you right now and you spray it you are liable for damage to their crops. Especially cotton. You will be held financially responsible. And 2-4D has a drift of 4 miles. Don’t use that right now.
This is what you need to do.
1. Go in and mow as low as you can what ever you want to spray.
2. Let the clippings die or if you have a rake attachment for tractor get all the clippings off.
3. Mix your glyphosphate at 3.0 oz / gallon of water! You will kill some shite with that
4. Get a good surfactant, so it sticks. Worth the money. Especially is you spray in the morning and then about 6:00Pm when you leave and it starts raining.
5. Get that nozzel down onto the ground. Even if it shrinks your width of spray and you have to make extra passes . Have good contact with what ever you are spraying.
6. WITH GLOVES ON. Like gloves up to your elbow. Put in a dye so you can make a pass or two and then stop and walk and look for how much surface contact you are really making. Not mist but real spray drops hitting the ground. Be carful with the dye. That shite is everywhere in my truck. USE GLOVES.
I am telling you glyphosphate at 3.0 oz per gallon with the boom down low And surfactant is good. You will kill some shite. The key is surface contact!! Check the dye you want droplets not mist bullshite.
Remember. You can always fill the sprayer with water and dye and practice in your yard to see how your sprayer works and then Add the glyphosphate at the camp. You know use the water and dye to get an idea as to spray pattern. Then add the juice at camp. Just something to practice.

Don’t use 2,4-D around vegetable and flower gardens.
If you know any farmers see if they can’t get you a jug of FireZone from Helena Chemical. It will heat up the glyphosate and smoke everything.

Okay, appreciate the suggestion. Will try this at our deer lease. Thank you.

Any generic 41% glyphosphate should suffice. I would add in some 2-4D. Mix 2 ounces of both to each gallon of water. So 50 oz of the Glyphosphate and 50 oz of the 2-4D for your 25 gallon tank.
This is what most farmers use as burndown of their fieldsfor grass before planting.

God damn son
I use exactly half that in my 15 gallon sprayer and it kills kudzu deader than dead.
Hell it kills wysteria. It burns the bottom branches of my cedar tres bare.

I use cornerstone plus. Buy it at a local coop.
works great for me. Go through about 40-45 gallons of concentrate a year.
If it is not just grasses I will add Crossbow. The combination of Gly and 24d will kill just about anything.
EDIT:
Wash out your sprayer really well, gly is very corrosive.

Very true words of wisdom. The glyphosphate will destroy your diaphragm pump on your sprayer. The best way to clean it is to rinse/flush out the tank with water,and run water through the pump and sprayer wand/boom. Then fill your sprayer with about 8 gallons of water, then add in 1 quart of pure ammonia. run pump and sprayer to flush out the tank, lines, booms, and pump. The store empty until next spray.
