Weed control help (mixing 2,4D) *pics included*

In my landscape days, we never used it for weed control. We used it to kill saplings on fence lines.

The guy who gave it to me used to be in the lawn business and said it worked great for weed control. The problem is, he told me 2 cups... I don't know if he meant 2 actual cups or two of the plastic cups he gave me to pour. He's golfing right now so i can't get in touch with him and I wanted to get it done before the wind starts.

Where can you buy that? I need some. I've always heard to mix it with Roundup for best killing results. I have some ridiculous weeds around my house that the Roundup doesn't kill dead enough.

I think it's 1 oz to a gallon on the concentrated version. Not sure with this stuff

i use 2 oz per gallon,mixed wirh eraser(roundup) on the fence lines around my pasture and on yarpon, tallows etc. 2 cups sounds like alot. I get mine from Agri Supply on-line 46% 2-4 D

1.5 or 2 oz per gallon is what almost all herbicides are made to be mixed at (at least the ones i use). Mixing extra will not kill more shite, just increase chemical runnoff and waste money. Once you hit either 1.5 or 2oz per gallon (depending on chemical) it has reached its minimum ratio for maximum effectiveness. 2-4D only kills broadleaf plants, so it is safe to use on your yard. It wont hurt regular grass.

Eta: if it doesnt have a surfactant in it, adding some liquid soap will help it stick to oily plant leaves. Some concentrates come with a surfactant. It should say somewhere on the msds.

My buddy gets me 2 4D also. What he gives me is in a different container. I mix it 1 to 1.5 ozs a gallon and spray my entire yard. Get some dye from one of the Nurseries so you can see where you miss. Mix a little dawn soap or Horticulture Oil with the mixture to make sure it sticks to the weeds. I will turn your grass brown but it will come back.

Well in that case use that

Not sure on the mixing ratio for the surfactant though. Should say on the label. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RATIO ON THE LABEL WITH POISONS!!!!!!!

those frickers need to put simpler directions for mildly retarded ppl like myself.

2oz per gallon is pretty much always potent enough with herbicides.
