Subject: Re: Convert foam marker to fence row sprayer system


SE South Dakota
Yes I do spray the entire fence row. I aim my nozzle so that it sprays from the edge of the crop up to the fenceline. I only do this where the 2-4d or banevel will not hurt the crop that I'm spraying, corn in my farm. I don't tend to spray the fences much while spraying the soybean cause the likelyhood for drift onto the soys is high.

On our crops most all the time I'm spraying roundup thru the main boom.

I honestly do not know the pressure that I use. I have a twenty five gallon tank and I can spray around 2-3 quarter sections before I have to fill up.

Experiment a little!

Just look at the nozzle charts and pick a nozzle that will have a coarse spray pattern. I should put a pressure guage on but for some time I have been getting by just winging it!

It truely does work very well now that we are almost always spraying roundup on the crop. The old days when we used only banvel on the corn I just raised the end of the boom over the fence and did a good job. Those days are no more, though.
