stream for your spray tank,
this could explain why
you’ve sometimes had
disappointing weed control.
Effective control will also
depend on proper ap
plication of spray materials.
Spray volume is very im
portant in getting good
distribution. If you’re using
water as a carrier, Webb
recommends using
somewhere between 40-50
gallons per acre. Use at least
25 gallons of liquid nitrogen
per acre, if this is your
carrier.

good marker 'system when
spraying, t pecially if
you’re killing < mulch cover.

aren’t so many confusing
tracks.

specialist, if you do a good
job preparing for and
establishing your no-till corn

when a grower slows down,
takes the trouble to get off
his tractor for a closer look
at his field, adjusts his
planter properly, makes
sure his chemicals are
properly mixed and applied,
he’s usually in good shape.”
By following the proper
steps, it should be possible to
have a
nice weekend...
