Subject: RE: Dry vs liquid AMS



You can't dissolve nearly the AMS they claim to replace per expensive quart of liquid. I used dry AMS and dissolved it separately from my sprayer. I mixed a sack in 39 gallons of water, that's about half saturation and it worked well. I used a plastic 55 gallon drum with the lid cut off and either a plank as a paddle or a long plastic right angle air nozzle to stir it it it didn't salt out when stored overnight.

Remember AMS has two jobs in the spray mix, the first one is to tie up dirt and hardness ions that would deactivate glyphosate and the other is for the N to make certain weeds like velvet leaf take the spray mix in better. Likely surfactants do some of that second task by chemically opening up the leaf surface.
