Subject: What I would do and what you should do


may not be the same thing. I haven't even seen the field.

But here is what I am assuming. It is thick enough it has to die. The ragweed is just out of the canopy enough to see. It is not standing high above the crop. So we have limited leaf area to hit and the plants are large. We have to get a lethal dose for a big plant with little area to do it. So.........

I would take 2qts of cheap 4lb like Credit Extra (made by Monsanto) and give it to them at 10gal per ac at about 60PSI. Cost, around 7 bucks depending on packaging.

Now, I will take the hit on the spray pressure being too high. (: Someone is sure to say the rate is too high as well. But here on the river ragweed of this size laughs at a qt. Yes, you will "yellow flash" the oversprayed beans if the conditions are right.
