*■ ?*»♦» i < SPRING TILLAGE SPREADS QUACKGRASS. ROUNDUP STOPS IT COLD. AND THAT’S A FACT. It’s a fact: the quackgrass you till or work up will come back to hurt you. And become a bigger problem than ever. That’s because tillage only breaks up the roots or rhizomes, and spreads them throughout your field, causing more plants to emerge. Just 75 quackgrass shoots per 5-feet of row can mean a 14% yield loss in com. The result: a quackgrass problem that can cost you 50% or more of your yield. And you can’t afford that. AFFORDABLE QUACKGRASS CONTROL WITH ROUNDUP® IS EASY. Only Roundup herbicide controls quackgrass, roots and all. Just follow guidelines to make at the low 1-quart rat work for you. First, use 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Next, add non-ionic surfactant. (Use 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution for surfactants containing more than 50% active ingredient. Or 4 quarts per 100 gallons for those with less than 50% active ingredient.) Finally, apply with flat fan nozzles. (You want the spray pattern to overlap.) Roundup. Or tillage. The choice is yours. But if you don’t want quackgrass to wind up costing you real money there really is no choice: it’s Roundup. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL FOR ROUNDUP HERBICIDE.
