Yes, use validate. I don't care what water you are using. Adjuvants for glyphosate are essential in my view.
At least 2 l/ha of 360 g/l glyphosate will do the job. Leave it for at least 48 hours before cultivating.
Validate is very good but adds expense you don't necessarily need. Ollie used to be a serviced agronomist

Couldn’t buy LI700 last time I tried. Obviously it worked too well.
FWIW I find 450 glypho ajways seem to work better than 360 even when you back the dose off to allow for the higher g/litre.
And Firebrand (ammonium sulphate solution) is my favourite glypho enhancer. Acidifies and gets it into the leaf I think.

Li700 has been done away with, I can't remember why, it always smelt pretty potent from memory.
Posher formulations of glyphosate or not, I would still use validate. It's not hugely expensive and far cheaper than a fudge up.

An extra litre of Glyphosate is usually cheapest I find
