Is there any reason I can’t spray eraser/round up late evening or early night before 10pm?

Can’t see where you’re going as well?


Get it on the plant in a high enough concentration and it’ll work.

What a weird question. Why wouldn’t you be able to spray roundup before 10pm?

You can. Would be best to do it in time to dry on the leaf for an hour or so before the dew falls.

Dew would maybe be an issue.

The weeds and grass really need to be awake before you spray.

What are you trying to kill?

Should be fine. Dew can help you out as long as it isn’t too heavy.

Guess the Auburn tree killer found his way to TD.

If you are intending to freeze the solution in ice cube trays and shoot it onto your neighbor's lawn with a slingshot, then it works best after dark.

lol, just trying to spray my plots and I never get to camp till 6/7pm. I’d rather spray the evening/night when I get up there then burning 3-4 hours the following morning spraying them.

Probably best in the morning since the weeds need to absorb it through their leaves, dry with sunshine is best.

Based on my many years of farming, some of the best weed kills that I ever got were from spraying just as the dew was coming on. One time I was spraying corn and it started to mist very lightly and I got a teriffic control job. The plants open their pores to absorb dew and they more readily absorb the chemical as well. Hot and dry = not so much success.

You might add some blue dye to see what was prayed (and what was missed) come light of day.

If you’re worried about dew, mix a little bit of dish soap in your mix, it’ll coat the plant and help it stick

You are more likely to see unwanted drift spraying at night.

Less of an issue if it’s not high volume but still be mindful if spraying next to other sensitive plants/areas.

Sprayed 3 plots this evening and finished up around 8:30. Hope they die so I can get seed in ground soon.
