This should probably go in the food plot thread, but figured it would eventually get lost in the many pages of info. It will be easier to search this way.
For spraying 10gal/acre for total kill. This is what we spray on farm ground on the second spray of the summer. First round is 50% stronger, but what is below should work well for what we do with food plots. I'll list a couple volumes so you don't even have to do the math
100 gallons water:
1 gal water conditioner/surfactant (Class Act)
1.5 gal Round up (glyphos 41%)
2 gal Brash (which is 2-4D and Danvil) Just using 2-4D here is fine.
1 oz. Ally*
10 gallons of water:
13oz water conditioner/surfactant (Class Act)
20oz Round up (glyphos 41%)
26oz Brash or 2-4D
.1 oz Ally*
A couple of things....... add to water in the order listed above. You don't have to use water conditioner, but it does make your chemical more effective.
Don't mix glyphos and Brash/2-4D together prior to pouring into the tank, it will precipitate and look like cottage cheese.............doesn't spray well like that.
Ally will knock out mares tails, and is great broad control that will last for a season in most cases. That said, DO NOT use Ally if you're planning planting any legumes or a mix that includes legumes within 6 months after spraying.
Don't mow before you spray...........the chemical needs as much leaf contact as possible. If you have mow first, give it 3 or 4 weeks of regrowth before spraying.
If using Brash........be aware of your wind drift. If you have neighbors with soybeans, peas, or alfalfa, makes sure your wind is from the proper direction. On a pretty windy day, drift kills of over a mile have happened on a soybean crops.
