I believe advice for how to spray Paraquat is the most widely varying advice of any herbicide you can seek advice for. Make sure you hold your tongue in the right part of your mouth.
What we do, right or wrong:
1. 24 oz Paraquat
2. 1/4# atrazine
3. 1/2# 24D
4. Lots of crop oil or MSO
Some guys I trust really believe roundup is important to throw in the mix. I'm not sure so I guess we don't.
I've heard carrier rates from 4 GPA to 30 GPA. We do 20 to 25.
Nozzles that aim backwards and forwards are worthwhile I think.
I believe our best results have come from a y splitter and then two regular nozzles so you have one regular nozzle aiming forward and one regular nozzle aiming back.
If you spray big weeds (maybe any weeds) be prepared to come back with a second shot after you burn the exterior of the plant down. If the leaves are blocking you from getting to other parts of the plant, you won't kill the plant.
Be darned careful. Don't let it get on you. Use shuttles instead of jugs. Get a shuttle of crop oil or MSO too as you use a lot of it if you're doing high GPA.
Good luck. | |
