NW Louisiana | We've used Halex GT for seven seasons or so and never had a problem until this year. We usually went over the corn at V5-V6. This year we went over at V4 and had lots of injury, especially in one variety, DKC 62-08. We normally use AMS but didn't this year because what weeds we had were small and they were very prevalent. I believe that had some to do with our injury, and was a bonehead move on my part. We also used Grounded from Helena as a deposition agent because we had some wind but we were spraying near a lot of cotton acres and houses and didn't want to chance any drift.
Anyways, the crop looked awful for a week or so and we had Helena, Syngenta, and Monsanto reps take a look and two specialists from LSU. The LSU weed scientist replicated my tank mix on some plots and the Grounded was causing the burn on that one variety. We also had 1lb of Atra in the tank.
Other than that we've had great luck with the product, but it did scare me this year. We luckily only sprayed 1/3rd of acres before we noticed the burn and we switched to RU, Atra, and Zidua on some acres and RU, Atra, and Capreno on others. We will see how the compare.
We do 10gl work and Turbo XL AI tips. We haven't seen any difference in product activity in reference to time of day and other environmental conditions. Just make sure you tank mix partners are compatible and keep agitation up. I wouldn't let it sit up over night. We also agitate the bulk tanks for a few minutes everytime before the mix our loads. That stuff is pretty thick.
