re: Roundup and briars

Roundup doesn't bind to the soil, it's a contact non-selective herbicide. It only kills what it's sprayed on.
However, Glyphosate absolutely binds with the soil. That is what makes it an effective commercial herbicide. The primary reason that crops can be planted or seeded directly into treated areas following application is that glyophosate exhibits essentially no preemergent activity even when applied at high rates.

you will still have a briar patch. It'll just be a dead one. You'll have to bush hog it or something to get rid of it.

Round-up kills everything, but binds to the soil and creates a dead space. In six months, you'll have all kinds of thistles and vines.

Yes. Roundup is great shite. You may need to add a surfactant though.

2-4D is the shite IMO

volatize
What does this mean? And I dont want to look it up!
What people fail to factor in is that spring, soil surface temperatures can be 10 - 15 degrees hotter than the air temperature, especially in mid-afternoon, increasing the possibility of volatilization.

quote:Monsanto (Makers of Roundup) produces seeds which grow into plants genetically engineered to be tolerant to glyphosate, which are known as Roundup Ready crops.
The primary reason that crops can be planted or seeded directly into treated areas following application is that glyophosate exhibits essentially no preemergent activity even when applied at high rates.
All this means is that "Roundup Ready crops" can also be sprayed after planting/sprouting. Wanted to clarify that I was only adding to, not correcting your contribution.

just double up on the recommended concentration and add a little dish soap to the sprayer...garanteed to work.....

I switched to a product called Cornerstone Plus, by Winfield Soultions,It's much cheaper than Round up and has a longer kill time. It also kills the briars and poison ive that regular Round up does no kill. Best part for me is i only use 3 oz. per gallon with saves me money for my biz.It's also fairly safe around pets which is a must for me.

I only use 2 ounzes per gallon unless I'm spraying bermuda- a 1 ounze per gallon application won't kill bermuda.

A lot of companies make knock off glyphos products.
Drexel Chemical makes "imitator" which is just like roundup, and "imitator plus" which is a heavier mix comparable to round up weathermax.

Conerstone i buy comes in a 2.5 Gal jug and it's about $35. You can also use 2oz per gal, but after using it for a couple years now 3oz seems to work better for me as i charge to use it and wanna make sure it does the job.
Posted on 5/21/11 at 3:39 pm to FISH N TIGER
I noticed the generics seem a little weaker, but at the reduced price it pays to up the shot like you were saying.

Mixing over the recommended ratio is pretty much just wasting chemical and money. Most herbicides work the best at the recommended ratio. Pouring the chemical straight on a weed does no more good than just spraying the weed with the appropriate mix(with most chemicals).

Thats freaking sweet.
I lived in a condo once and had a mini back yard i got tired of paying someone to cut so i bought 50 boxes of table salt and started pouring ....after a few weeks it killed eveything even blackberry vines.

quote:He's talking about Roundup though and that one does work better if stronger. At 1 oz per gallon, for example, bermuda won't be killed but at 2 you can kiss it good bye and at 3 it'll show in less than 5 days.

What does it call for on the label? 2.5 oz a gallon?
