Should I be adding something to my well water when I’m mixing glysophate or other things? I noticed when I switched from bringing up the city water to using well water, I seem to be losing some effectiveness.

I noticed when I switched from bringing up the city water to using well water, I seem to be losing some effectiveness. For one thing, glyphosate has been losing its effectiveness for years. No matter what water you mix it with. It’s called resistance. |

The harder your water and the more calcium you have will lower the effectiveness of roundup. |

The harder your water and the more calcium you have will lower the effectiveness of roundup. That’s why the use of AMS is always recommended on the glyphosate label. |

If you're noticing reduced effectiveness of gly, your well water ph has gotta be off the charts. It should be some really tasty water, right?

The use of AMS neutralizes the calcium and magnesium in any water you use. But the addition of a good surfactant at 2 quarts per 100 gal of mix may be the difference of working and not working on problem weeds.

Is that still true for the gly that shows it’s got surfactant already included? In certain types of weeds, surfactant can enhance activity. But the biggest problem I see is guys never put on the correct amount for each situation. They are always spraying weeds when they are off label. (To tall) or a weed not on the label. Or spraying a quart to the acre mix when it should be 3 quarts per acre. Read the label is why it’s on there. |
